[QUOTE="Guest, post: 166956"] Iv moved a lot of dirt with a rotapan they do work quite well, there is a special technique in its operation that won't loose gold but it is useless in clay "forget it" but overall excellent for general creek gravels etc... Don't think it won't use much water it depends on the water level to be topped up to flush lighter meterial through, and you have to lower the sieve gently after you emptying otherwise you flush out your catch tray' nice gentle movements. Mine had the newer deep catch tray and I added a circle of marine carpet in the bottom and a few washers to the shaft to lift the height just a touch, and I cleaned the catch tray out as soon as the dirt touched the base of the tray. Best part about it all your tools (fold up spade) fit in the bucket with it so great for traveling or limited space. There's also a plastic version called the "gold rush nugget bucket" that looks interesting. [/QUOTE]
