[QUOTE="Digginholes, post: 434142, member: 2490"] I think there really should be at least a small amount of slick plate at the head of any sluice or it could cause every thing to catch up and clog the top too early, the material needs time to gain motion and also seperate giving the gold the chance to drop lower then the rest of the materials or you could find yourself putting too much flow through to clear the head of the sluice resulting in too higher flow that will push the gold over and out not giving it time to drop into the v may or riffles. Just my opinion, but hey i could be wrong also [/QUOTE]
