[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 188847, member: 1769"] Hi dirtdiggin, If there is no bedrock within a decent distance, your best bets are either finding a false bottom (preferably of clay), or moving to an area that has bedrock! :D I'm only half serious, though. In most parts of the country where the bedrock is accessible, the old timers did a good job of getting most of the gold. If you're setting up to sluice for a day, it's well worthwhile to spend some time panning prospects at different layers and different areas to get an idea of where the gold is, and how much you'd expect to get.
