[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 70835, member: 357"] looking at your setup mate i would say your classifier (punch plate) is removable get yourself a piece of fine expanded steel like the stuff i use n my sluices and run it backwards on the bottom of your hopper tray. It will hold the clay whilst the water pressure does its thing, yes it will hold gold but you build it to be removable. Another set-up I used to run which might work for you just as easy is put some backed moss on top of half of your classifier and again expanded mesh on top of it backwards then you put your clay on there and scrub into it. works really well the water pressure does the rest, easily removed and ruined when and if it clogs up. If you have trouble finding fine expanded you can use bug grill from supercheapauto for about $30 1500 x 200 mm it works well but doesn't last as long as the steel. I might even have a square off cut for you out back. aside from that everything you said is what I do if i'm panning, i.e. drill with modified paint mixer and bucker and sometimes leaving buckets of mud hiding in the bush :) [/QUOTE]
