[QUOTE="mdv, post: 120549, member: 710"] When there is not enough water in 'my creek' for a Walbanker or if the spot is too inaccessible or far to carry the Walbanker, I revert to using an Angus McKirk (grubstake) sluice fed from my small petrol pump running at a little more than idle speed. I classify first to 1/4 inch into a bucket and then feed into the sluice using a hand scoop. This set-up is light enough to carry many hundreds of metres and uses less than 1l of petrol per day. Hand feeding the sluice is relaxing and brings the anticipation of spotting bits of colour as they travel into the first riffle.
