[QUOTE="Guest, post: 72972"] Wal, I have found that the gold we catch in your Walbanker is more like 99% caught in the top section of catwalk immediately after 500mm of slick plate. I have found cleaning out the bread crate section there would be lucky to have 3 specks and I have only ever found 1 flake in the tip of the Walbanker on 2 occasions after about 30 clean outs. The slick plate and catwalk section is super efficient at trapping the gold. With that in mind I am going to trial the Walbanker with only catwalk in it. I have 3 pieces which will be configured 500mm slick plate, 200mm catwalk, 150mm slick 300mm catwalk, slick plate then a final catwalk section at the exit end. I have been impressed with the cat walks ability to trap and keep the gold in place. This brain snap is to expedite the clean up process. Simply lift out 3 pieces of catwalk and flush contents into the bucket. Is there any obvious flaws in my logic? I guess to answer my own question it probably depends how fine the gold is in the area being worked? Sorry to hijack the thread but I am supporting the 500mm slick plate for total efficiency.
