If anyone knew a spot with abundant big gold it wouldnt be there anymore. There are multiple regions in Victoria you can find coarse gold with just a pan, tell me where youre interested in travelling and i might be able to give you a few fields to research.

They are pretty simple to make but if youre looking to buy something maybe check out a blue bowl. Im not aware of any off the shelf miller table makers in Aus What is your aim with it? ie what sort of material are you hoping to process? it needs to be fairly fine and finely classified, which...

can confirm waratah bay has fine gold. not much but its there.

Cramping could be a sign of not enough salt or potassium in your body. try an electrolyte sports drink and a banana (its probably just all the digging though)

Found a new spot today. couple of pans worth. pretty pleased Edit: (not counting the 10 or so duffer pans before i found the sweet spot)

Sounds like youre not in vic but for anyone following the thread who is i know you can hire sdc2300s gpx4500 and gpx5000 at coiltek in maryborough and ee day and sons in ballarat.

with a bit of help, a bit of reading and a bit of sampling ive found the spot. next trick will be figuring out how i manage waterflow. thinking about using a recirculating bilge pump for the first banker run.

Ive started referring to mine as Frankensluicy :lol:

Earlier in the week certain aspersions were cast as to the quality of the rivets and bends in my sluice. i would argue that whats far more important is the quality of the dirt youre pouring down it. checked out a few spots a mate told me about around Cotties creek

you know what, i havent got the energy for a shitfight today. happy prospecting everybody

mate theyre sluices not space shuttles.

The sluicy bankers are a decent frame to build on and getting all tge materials together for a walbanker and making one from scratch isnt to everyones ability or taste.

what region are you in AF? if youre in vic im happy to catch up for a dig so you can see the vortex mat in action. the last straw for me was trying to classify a 10L bucket full of cons through a 30 mesh sieve.

im not in the same location as my sluice right now but from memory its about 10mm from the top of the ridge to the bottom of the trap. 10mm grizzlies would work fine. ive run for about 1h in creswick black sand hell and didnt find any gold in my tailings. i was shocked how much the cons were...

oh and remember if its ugly and it catches gold it isnt ugly :)
