[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 157672, member: 2436"] Hi Chris, I would try it the way it is. . Pan and see how much is trapped in the crate section then pan and see what you have in your expanded. It is ideal to have about 3/4 of that amount of crate with the whole lot further down the bankers chute. That way you have a "Slick Plate" that allows the water and material to gain speed, form a fluid bed and level out before hitting the expanded. You will probably find the first 2 or 3 sections of expanded will be washed clean by the water cascading down from the hopper. Don't worry too much yet as you will catch about 90 % of the gold in the expanded section. The crate will catch the super fine stuff. This type of setup will catch the lot. Still a nice setup to have. :D [/QUOTE]
