[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 666799, member: 4728"] SG of Diamonds is 3.4 as against 2.6 for quartz (about 30% heavier) so reckon should still be some value in gravity sorting. Probably would need much more care and thoroughness than for gold. Really not sure that either photo represents gravity sluicing however. Also noted in the second photo the background dirt seems much clayier so both processes may just represent puddling to remove the fine clay particles that could form a significant portion of the bulk before the resulting clean gravel is further processed.
