[QUOTE="bazxa, post: 238044, member: 7154"] Riffles need to be high side down stream, reverse to photo. Level the sluice across to ensure even depth of water across the sluice, slope of 1 inch per foot is a good start. Keep the discharge end clear of the stream. Have water in the sluice about 1 inch deep. Sieve down to 6mm over the inlet or into a bucket. Load the sluice and watch the blonde coloured particles as they should 'dance' in the voids of the mat as they move through the sluice. Adjust slope until 'dancing' is observed. Never permit the sluice to form a carpet of 'blonde' or the gold will just travel over it. The goldhog mat video will give you a good view of 'dancing'. Barry [/QUOTE]
