[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 648503, member: 15464"] Hi Reeks. I also use a bucket for the pump intake. Where possible I set the bucket upright with a large rock in it for stability. I also use a shade cloth filter over the intake, With the bucket upright clean water away from the creek bottom can be drawn in. The water needs to be deep enough so that a vortex does not develop to draw air into the pump so the creek needs to be deep close to the bank. In addition, I use a poverty pot. When cleaning up, as soon as I see colour in the pan I tip the contents into a small bucket and collect more paydirt. I continue in this way until the shift is over and then clean-up the poverty pot, perhaps back at camp. With only one clean-up to contend with more paydirt can be processed. For what it's worth. Grey Panner. [/QUOTE]
