    Croc Gold Trap Fluid Bed Sluice

    Great looking sluice Lucky Dan, sorry to ask this but how does it work? I've watched the videos but what stops the gold from being washed out. I only ask as it looks very interesting and I might have some spare cash soon. I like the idea of not having to clasify all the best with it Dan.
