[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 10567, member: 147"] G'day Tone, Box is looking like it will have no problems trapping the gold. Sorry to hear that there wasn't enough flow to get it working for you. If you like, you can put a small hopper box at the top end made out of a normal 20 litre plastic drum. Cut the top out and a slot at the bottom full width of the drum and about 20 mm high. Set this up on the bank somewhere close to where your digging. Sieve your material with a 1/4 inch sieve and feed it half bucket at a time into the hopper. Pour a full 20 litre bucket of water into the hopper after each half bucket of material. We do this with our modified sluice "pictured below" in areas where there is little water. Hope this helps mate when you're working around non flowing streams.....Cheers, Wal :) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/147/1368881109_img_0025_800x600.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
