First impressions on the dream mat!
I went to a well known fine gold area to work out the bugs. Known for Copious amounts of black sand.
Setup as per recommendations by gold rat. Around 9 degrees
Ran creviced material with heaps of quartz in it. Bad idea. Blocked the cells. So stuffed around with angles and flow rate. To clear. No luck getting it to self clean.
Discovered it hates heaps of fractured quartz like you get from crevicing this area.
Tried low lying eroded material. Ate it up and captured heaps of black sand.
I was sceptical of the capture rate as some black sand was getting into the tailings but no gold. Just the nature of the beast I think. Let's the lighter black sand clear.
Clean up is ridiculously easy, love it. Heaps of black sand as you would expect but heaps of gold also. Only fine with heaps of fly turd size bits but typically for the area.
In conclusion extremely impressed. Despite the teething problems. But you get that with anything new to you.
I can't wait to take it to my chunkier areas with minimal black sand.
Removed the miners moss from hopper as it slowed the flow rate to much. Ended up using just the expanded mesh.
