[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 279318, member: 414"] Depends on too many variables such as type of material being processed , how much fine heavies there are , how fast you shovel through it , how fine / flat / coarse the gold is , what kind of catch media you're using ..... Forget rule of thumb , develop a feel for it by experience for each location you're at . Improve other factors first like the right slope and water feed for the type of matting / riffles you have , then fine tune your clean up frequency to suit the gold . If it's coarse you will probably go longer between clean ups. Some people shovel 5 buckets a day , some shovel 8 cubic meters a day , so many variables :) [/QUOTE]
