[QUOTE="gcause, post: 83609, member: 1497"] Ok finally got to give this a really good field test yesterday and it works great. :D I found the best way to use it was that if I pull back on the handle and then let it sit the materials start to slide back down the pipe and the heavy material goes to the collection pot. Then I push down on the handle after a second or two and flush the water back out. It worked fine until a stone got caught in the funnel and then it blew the collection pot right off with a bang so its definitely building up sufficient pressure to collect material. I cleared the stone from the funnel and it was working well again. None of this is glued together its all just pushed together parts I did while I was in Bunnings that day so its amazing it is handling those kinds of air pressures well. The collection pot just gets pushed into the bottom of the device. I have a bad back so this was great it meant no more bending over to collect material for the gold pan. Once I am finished creviceing I just take the collection pot off and pour it into the gold pan and rinse the pot out with some water into the gold pan. I found only fly poo sized gold in the area I was in but the fact that it collected that is a good sign that if the bigger stuff was there it would catch it. :) [/QUOTE]
