[QUOTE="reefer, post: 611793, member: 775"] Well Smoky!...sounds like you have a good system happening mate...and yeah...I'm not surprised at all to hear you confirm that your gold stops right there where it lodged when the forces at play put it.It's as we all know...or...( should know for their own benefit) that Gold is 20x! heavier than water!... :o :o .... yet the vortex the water creates as it meets that outside force 'I was rattling on about above...the riffle. It generates so much low pressure as to cause the nugget to sit snugly as it may...low and tight to the downstream side of the riffle.The other thing is to remember is,it's good to have a pan, dish or bucket perhaps, catching the discharge fines from the sluice.That way you don't lose any fines that were washed out. :lol: Just my angle on it...pun intended :lol: :lo: Cheers to yers :Y: [/QUOTE]
