[QUOTE="Brumble-Gum, post: 231677, member: 1569"] I didn't see any water flowing underneath into the concentrate catch area. My understanding is that you need 2 separate flows of water to run a fluid bed sluice. Fast flow over the top and steady-slower flow into catch area. This difference in flow rates allows the gold to drop out into the box. The fast flow separates the rocks gradually and allows larger rocks to be kicked off the top and away, the slower flow beneath keeps all concentrates in a fluid state (the same as when you swirl a gold pan) allowing all gold to drop to the bottom. There may be a flow underneath this one, I didn't see it. Good mobile size thou if it does. [/QUOTE]
