[QUOTE="goldengoose, post: 364319, member: 7351"] 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 :mad: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7351/1507536258_img_0707_moment_2.jpg[/img] Thanks for your feedback ! GG [/QUOTE]
