[QUOTE="slowflow, post: 34536, member: 1071"] Don't know this sluice. When running mine for very fine gold I need to reduce the angle. Usually test pan, then run the sluice flatout so it retains nothing for a couple of shovels and back off until rifles are retaining just a tiny bit of blond. I'm using Gold Hog mat now but it used to work with the blue miners mat. If the mat is not almost clean there are no holes to let the gold drop. It seems a lot of manufacturers overstate the capture percentage, if you are close to 90% that is good. 6:4 is not a good ratio, check no flutter in the mat as it shakes the gold free, no easy path for escape. Check no surge in water supply & ensure the sluice is level across the flow path, a level helps but you can see by flow depth. Talk to supplier/manufacturer. Best of luck, let us know what you find.
