[QUOTE="Aggro, post: 295792, member: 8225"] Hello again In the absence of an actual sluice, a couple of weeks ago at DC I tried laying a 45 litre bucket on it's side in the water flow and set up rocks to only allow water in to half of it. Then added material that I had only put through my coin sieve (about 12mm), 1 small shovel at a time. I did 4 of the 45 litre containers this way, reduced each one down to 3 pans using my had to help stir it up in the water flow. Total results were 1 almost picker and I'm guessing 40 or 50 flecks from the 12 pans. Haven't separated from the last bit of sand yet, but here it is anyway. Since then, I put the panned material through the underflow trap I am playing around with and got more gold dust from it.
