[QUOTE="Philski, post: 36187, member: 1553"] I used to prefer to shove straight in and use the large rocks to help trap gold. But, frankly its destructive. a 1/2 inch is smaller than the nuggets, so is one inch. So cant afford to classify too small. I now use a grizzle 3 inch x 2inch screen to remove large rocks to roll straight back into the last patch i have worked out, and hand sort out smaller 50mm rocks in the sluice and backfill the last paddock then top with the next paddocks (6 feet x 6 feet or so of topsoil. i also use a tailings dam (below the first drop off, i i have one available) to trap the pebbles and a good deal of the silts from entering the stream. hope that helps Kindest Regards Phillip [/QUOTE]
