[QUOTE="blisters, post: 230272, member: 4992"] Step by step this is how I do it. I use a 20l bucket with a deep sieve that fits snugly in to the top and fill with water. This would be my final classification size e.g 1/4 for the grubstake. I have a Garrett 1/2 inch on top and classify the bigs in to the deep sieve. Because the deep sieve pretty well seals against the bucket I only need to occasionally add a bit of water to it. As the deep sieve fills I run my hands through it to reduce the quantity then sieve the rest. 10l buckets are easier to carry around so I collect the dirt in a couple of those, classify and pour back into the 10l and scoop through the sluice. With a larger sluice you wouldn't need to classify down to 1/4. Jon [/QUOTE]
