[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 174335, member: 3111"] because its only 4" your going to get a really quick flow through it unless you can ctrol the flow. the v-matting I use in the top of my highbanker as a per-shovel preview but it usually washes the gold out after a short while into the bottom half of the sluice. I still feel that expanded mesh works very well. 90 angle riffles are pretty much yukon riffles and need about double ir more the flow to actually work. Mist the time you would space them 2" apart but you dont have the flow for that. Id reccomend making hungarian riffle by trimming angle iron ( the top part if the riffle ) and bending it out slightly. These work better when spaced randomly. riffles that get taller towards the end of the box work ok as well and help to stop gemstones. most matting catches gold, its just what suits you or the area you are digging in. I dont use mats, I rely on vertex to hold tge gold in my sluice [/QUOTE]
