[QUOTE="Ag Man, post: 226005, member: 113"] If I have a good amount of flow, I only classify by picking the biggest rocks out of my bucket. If the material shovelled in dances happily out the sluice without stopping along the way, I don't classify at all & have no probs catching the fines. (MacKirk sluice). Only in low flow I classify to suit. Snuffer bottle or long pointy medical tweezers to pick out anything of interest on sluice. My thoughts - if I need to classify to 1/8", then I'll just pan with the Garrett pan as that'd be more efficient of my time and less likely to miss any potential pickers that may have been overlooked during classifying. I run my sluices as level as the water flow I have to work with will allow. [/QUOTE]
