[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 36160, member: 357"] it really depends on your sluice, waterflow, how often you want to clean-out and what type of gold you have in the area. Personally I use a bucket sieve when I'm sluicing, I take my little backpack sluice stand it up in the buckets I find it all fits together nicely. I used to use the Garrett 1/2 " classifier which thins at the base so it will sit inside just about any bucket problem with that is its plastic and floats needless to say i lost it one evening. If just want to classify more material faster then the bunnings dirt sifter and the Garrett super sluice might be the go, you can classify plenty of material with this setup, you will break these screens time and time again but for $5 who cares. I will say this thought, if your in a iron rich area that get those little flat bits of gold stuck in the iron you cant pass up the metal sieves they break up material better than another.
