[QUOTE="General_Hawkins, post: 523478, member: 13863"] Hi, Sluice: - continuously flowing water is necessary - Sluice must be aligned with the underground - Quantity of water must be sufficient to run the sluice efficently - If the amount of water is too small, you have to screen-down your material High-Banker: - As it is naturally running with a pump you only need water somewhere - could even run in a curcuit - No need to pre-screen the material. Thats what the grizzly bars are for :) Regarding the High-Banker (With pump), [u]correct me if I'm wrong[/u], but isn't it only allowed in the Northern Territory? **Oldtimer version: you can also run both things with buckets of water if there is no creek or river in sight. But.. yeah, at least nobody would consider you greedy here :P Best, Oli [/QUOTE]
