[QUOTE="DirtyGold, post: 464563, member: 14294"] I bought a Gold Rat at the start of the week after feeling the need to upgrade from panning, what a great decision that was! I'm only new to the hobby but after panning at Oallen Ford a few times, I found it back breaking work for little reward with the pan. I ducked out to Oallen yesterday at around midday, and after a little bit of dam building, playing with the angles, a test buck, and a quick pan and it was catching gold. I then ran 8x20L buckets of classified material through the sluice and managed to get a bit of gold and one little picker. I'm not sure if Geroge from Bangalee is on here, but thanks for some pointers and showing me some crevicing techniques.
