[QUOTE="TenOunce Tone, post: 81907, member: 288"] Hi Pj. You should get a nice "V" on the slick plate with the tip of the V just before the first catch area. If things are set up correctly you should find the majority of the gold dropping in the first 300 - 400 of the catch area. If you check utube you should be able to find videos on correct water flow in a sluice. Just keep in mind a river sluice wont hace the high flow a banker does. You should be aiming for about a 50mm deep (half ur depth) at the start of your catch area. On classification size, 1/2 inch should be all you need. Unless you are using a shaker or some other assisted method. You will find it will take too much of your time to classify down to 1/4 in the field. The whole point of a RS is to process more volume of material. Just my thoughts on it. Good luck with it, sounds like your on a winner Cheers, Tone [/QUOTE]
