[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 17559, member: 3"] Hey Danielkrupski, I can confirm the Angus MacKirk Grub Steak Sluice is well suited to low flowing water ways. In terms of setup, they're pretty easy. Most people say to drop a 1 inch stone in the flair end, if the stone [u]tumbles[/u] its way through the sluice without getting caught up, your pretty well set. Also take note of the riffles, if they are clogging up, add some more forward tilt, if they are clearing out too fast, tilt it back a little. As for classifying, 1/2" - 1/4" is fine depending on water flow. A method I picked up on the forum for checking your configuration, is to submerge a gold pan just under the tail end of the sluice using a large rock to hold it down. Run a bucket of material through the sluice and pan out the what you catch in the gold pan. If there's any gold in pan, you'll need to make some adjustments. Nugget. [/QUOTE]
