[QUOTE="Pauly, post: 12075, member: 299"] I think you may have over done it a bit. From the looks of your riffles it will clog up. Heres my understanding of gold and how to catch it. Basically all your trying to do is make everything in your sluice liquid sort of like floating that way the heavies sink first and thats when your moss or v matting can catch the gold. The idea of a riffle is to make an area of back pressure so the gold or heavies are sort of pushed up. If your riffles are too close or restrict the flow too much then it will clog up so the dirt is no longer floating and the gold will just keep running down. [/QUOTE]
