[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 103556, member: 147"] Can hear where you're coming from there Atom, and that's what the old timers successfully used. Our only concern these days, is unlike the old timers who had abundant gold, our best gold returns require covering distance on foot to be successful, and for the most part the wooden sluices are hindered by the weight factor. The unfortunate fact of life regarding the modern prospector, is if you sluice next to your vehicle you will only get a very small amount of gold, no matter how efficient your set up is. Modern technology and the use of alloys/plastics can dramatically improve ones takings, purely because of their portability and ability to work far away from the bustling crowds, so to speak.
