[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 434335, member: 4105"] Good discussion guys!! Reminds me of the old days, bashing idea's around with Wal!! Anyway, if I may, no riffles in the top of the launder... let the material bash onto the slick plate, and start to move... That is a very important part of stratification.. Then, have your version of hungarian riffles, facing the right way!! (Shit I've done it on a big plant!!!..dont ask the outcome.. ) In my experiance, all your gold will be in the first third of the launder, if you find gold further down, you need to look at your inputs.. ie water, and burden. Do not clean up every 10 minutes!! Set it up right, and do the day, if you are in a producing area! Agreed with a comment above, I wouldn't even bothered to set every thing up, unless I got colour in the pan.. I have left a plant overnight, with the sluice 'loaded', I was tired, big day, went home... In the morning I could not even scratch the dirt in the mesh.... it was like concrete!, so when I started the plant up, and turned the water on, did any gold in the new dirt, just go straight on thru?? I'll never know, but I never did it again! Clean up at the end of the day! [/QUOTE]
