[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 103590, member: 3682"] Your right AR, the mats will wear over time and become far less effective but as we know, Water and Rock are great levellers on anything. I agree its best to stay as cheap as possible for replacement purposes though, as even miners moss will become dog house carpet over time Weight has always been a huge issue for reasons stated above, but as the color becomes scarcer these days, capture rates become more important for many but as golddigg says, the old timers were not too concerned about the losses through their wooden sluices as their alluvial success was much greater than we can hope for today. I hate that it always has to be a trade-off for weight and expense V's productivity and effectiveness and saving $$ has never been more important than it is now, yet still we all go out and purchase the best detectors money can buy today hoping it will increase our chances for success. Yeh, the Yanks do go overboard sometimes but im not sure you can ever put too much thought and research into anything you do as long as its satisfying and above all......a hell of a lot of fun :lol: Cheers ;) [/QUOTE]
