The mods look the go mate. Yes its handy to be able to swap and change mats easily. Or even run different types. Love to see the dream mat in action. Looks very simple to clean up and get going again. Thats important to be able to do every couple of hours. No point digging all day to find out its got no colour in it hey. Where abouts you gunna give her a run?
Oh I just run two seperate traps like wal dose. But with a variable pitch hopper.

 

[aussiefarmer]

yeah I run bread crate etc for sapphire's its good , catches gold too.

unsure for the first big outing, but I will give it a test run not to far from home to tune the bugs out.

Came up good mate. Id love to see the rear wall of your sluice with some backward angle to take the force out of that angle from hoppper to sluice but gotta love the tibkering mate. Like a new pair of mud tyres on the 4by

 

[aussiefarmer]

yeah I am wondering how the flow will behave there

 

[mudgee hunter]

In the worst case, you might have to trim an inch or two off the underside length of the hopper. My unit has at least a 75mm rebate. Also depends on you pump volume as well I think.

 

[mudgee hunter]

Maybe try collapsing your unit to traveling position, swing the hoppers support arms to align to point where they meet up with a pre existing bolt, drill the extra hole to match in each side of riser. Lock in with a wing nut. This might help when carrying your unit.

Mate i dont carry it , i solved that problem long ago

 

[mudgee hunter]

Tell me the secret, wifey wont do that for me, she just steals my detector and beer, and takes off

 

[aussiefarmer]

I hook it to my pump

 

[mudgee hunter]

Soz m8, I meant if your hopper is locked in when collapsed, it wont swing open whilst transporting to and fro. Lol

 

[aussiefarmer]

All good i dont carry banker or pump they just follow me even when i am by myself .
True.
