[QUOTE="GOLD Billyen, post: 74410, member: 2559"] To answer your question...I was up at Tuena last week. I took my AT Gold and pans and river sluice. Now it was my first time and I thought I'd swing in the area I was in to find a spot to start digging...to put through the sluice. Well, I set up my sluice in 20 minutes (you just can't throw it down...you got to move rocks and get the flow right.) So I detected for 90+ mins and didn't get any good beeps. I gave up and grabbed a pile of dirt that looked good and filled my pan....I then put that through my river sluice. took 15 mins. I got 10 nice colors when I did the clean up at home. I had more fun in the 15 minutes and didn't even know if I had any gold. I was actually a bit pissed as I thought I was just washing rocks. So I'm personally leaning towards sluicing...it's just more fun. I may get a highbanker soon too. [/QUOTE]
