I have made a customized Walbanker and recently tested it in slaty creek. Setup near camp ground 3 and feed in the gravel.
After about an hour I did a clean up. Lots of black sand by then.
The result was a few fly dirt specs in the pan.
Being that well turned over area of the creek I was not expecting larger bits, just a test run.
If I was able to trap the fly dirt sizes would that mean I was catching most of any gold in that dig spot?
or possibly were bigger pieces thrown out? Your thoughts !
The catch pan below sluice was accidently tipped over before I could check it.
Not letting me upload a vid of it running
Thanks for your feedback !
