[QUOTE="Shingles, post: 151605, member: 5050"] Hi terraaustralis. The problem with a recirc system is the longer you run it, the more the viscosity of the water changes. This can keep the fine and flour gold in suspension and blow it right out of your box. Some people have had success with running multiple tubs joined by some poly pipe. Where you sluice into the first bucket and draw water from the last. Adding some gypsum to the water can also work. Be careful that the stocking doesn't clog with silt and put to much pressure on your pump. :) regards, shingles. Ps. Your pretty lucky having gold bearing ground on private property, I'm a little bit jealous! :P [/QUOTE]
