Hi there,
My father and I recently finished building our Sluice's high banker, this is our first time sluicing and I guess were not quite sure if we are doing it right. I've looked both around the internet and on these forums and haven't found to many instructions, so I though I'd post to see if I could get the advice needed.
The sluice was bought from a professional builder, forget the name. We built the high banker from an old water thing, it has a mesh filter to take out the larger rocks, this is all powered by a cheap eBay 2000GPH pump. We've spent approx 5 hours so far out sluicing in river beds (Looking very promising) and yet to find any gold..
These are the main questions I currently have..
Below, some pictures of our setup.. (The foam is due to the water tank we used was full of handwash before.. )
Thank you for reading, I can't wait to hear for a reply so we know were doing it right!

These are the main questions I currently have..
- How much angle should the sluice be on? [/*]
- How much water should be flowing though the sluice?[/*]
