Thanks fellas Yeah I do understand the logic following good etc I just like running he sluice just because lol Its cool its a toy to play with and I like to set it up And experiment with setup also. Im hanging to build a highbanker to have a fonat a bank Ive found. Same sort of scenario with...

Aw dang Did he dirt soften up with water passing over ? My area that most times I find gold spec her and there is freestone creek above briagalong. If I crevis Ill just pan it out. But digging a hole behind something like a big rock and theres a bit more rock and dirt involve I like To suck it...

hehe riffles arse bout isn't ideal. I think you may be right with regards to heaps of cons, I had decent flow, more than normal and it was struggling to clean and dance around. Guess well see how it goes next time. :Y:

It appears Im running the bigger sluice mesh wrong way around as well lol Wonder if that might be why theres no gold. Oh well lol

if theres enough space just drill another hole and refit the original plastic nut and bolt. it will just sit closer to the coil. just a thought :Y:

Thanks very much for the input an help fellas. I havnt tried to mini sluice yet with the matting, I wasn't too concerned about that one as it runs the full length and the mesh and riffle bars hold it all down in place. I brought home some plastic strips from work that ill slide over the leading...

yeah makes sense. I manged to get some pics resized after email from my phone to laptop lol. what a mssion

Yeah your not wrong. Half the time I could probably pan it out, but hey I have a sluice I want to use it then swing the pan. Something hypnotic watching the sands dance around lol a bit staring at camp fire. Eventually it will be a all rubber Matt / hog/owl setup. Sit the mat in the pan and...

I normally get something This was a completely new area and was a lot of hard work. Tons of big rocks. Ill try to put up some pics tonight. Its not losing gold it works pretty well, Id just like to clean up often and see whats happening. Not sure if its impatients or just excited to see what...

So in got out yesterday. Not one spec of gold but I had fun and learnt not to go back in a hurry lol. I scrounged upna piece of narrow hose and cut a slit in it, then slid it over the sluice and rubber Matt. Did the trick but the rest was lifting up. I think I might double side tape it down so...

thanks for your reply moeee. Its a snug fit. I'm too impatient to do one cleanup lol so having removable would be good. Had an idea to keep the leading edge down on the sluice, I have plastic srips at work I can slide on. But to get me out tomrow ive also got some narrow hose I might slice and...

Hi all After seeing a fair few videos of sluicing It appears theres a fair few people running fine ribbed Matt at the head of the sluice. So I went and got hold of some and have cut it to suit my sluice. The question is do people have them removable or are they glued down? I filled my...

Thanks mate will have a go pretty sure I have tried a few settings with sensitivity but have not taken noticed what it was set to when its done its strange thing. :)

But why would it only make a noise coming from the right and not from the left? got me stuffed lol. if theres a target normaly it makes noise left and right and i can narrow down where it is and then pinpoint. maybe it nothing. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the replys fellas. There wont be another detector in the pipepline for a long time. I get the hot rocks and other rubbish thing but Im just wanting to know why if i move the detector from right to left it makes a tone but from left to right it dosnt make a tone. does it mean anything...

Hi all I have used my xterra a fair bit on coins etc. When using it in prospecting mode and having a go at trying to find some gold quite often I get an odd signal/tone. So Ill hear a tone / target and then sweep back the tone goes away. So from right to left I get tone but then swing back from...

Thanks mate will check it out :Y:

Hi all Search didnt come up with much So sorry if it has been brought up before Im after a book of gippsland gold mines and maps if there is one. Having been on geovic and going to marks and finding spots is good but 99 percent of the time its a different type of mine or part of a processing...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone is selling a used Garrett carrot? If not Ill have to wait a bit longer Cheers cam

Sorry about the late reply I thought it had been forgotten about lol Makes sense The flood had washed some of the bank away above the road. I had another go with the detector last night with the kids on top of the rock No good I think that area is just holding small fine gold. So being a warm...
