[QUOTE="pjg100, post: 82218, member: 1890"] Well hello everyone, Today was the day that I ventured into making a River Sluice of my own as stated in the previous posts. The sluice from my mate; [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1890/1402206928_sluice_1.jpg[/img] The only mat that was available at Bunnings was a 600mm length, so cut to suit the width from the bottom. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1890/1402207240_sluice_2.jpg[/img] With the expanded mesh, I could only get a 600 x 300 section. So I measured up and cut a 600 long section, gave me an overlap for the mat and mesh areas. Leaving a 350mm skid area, not what I really wanted but I will go with this. Holding down the mesh is 4x 5mm bolts with mud washers and wing nuts. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1890/1402207336_sluice_3.jpg[/img] Well, it is not perfection but it is mine. Could anyone post comments if they see any improvements.So the boys' and me will head out tomorrow for some testing. If by chance it works, I'll post a photo of the finds. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1890/1402207399_sluice_5.jpg[/img] Busting to see what results I get tomorrow, so have to have some beers to put me to sleep for the early rise, for it is a 2 hour trip before I can start testing. BTW, the bench that the RS is on, I picked up today from Bunnings for $99 clearance sale. Peter. :cool: [/QUOTE]
