[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 32595, member: 147"] G'day dozzer, Sorry i haven't been of much use lately but just got back from chasing gold for the last 2 months in WA. If it's purely for sapphires and you don't want any gold then you're best leaving the mat out altogether. I'd run a full section of 11mm catwalk from the end of the sluice to the slick plate section, making sure that the slick plate section is at least 500 long. Remember that by doing this, with no mat, all the fine gold will wash through the box, (underneath the mesh), but you will get 95% of the sapphires. "don't use this method for gold" ;) After about every 10 shovels of material remember to give the box a good shake to keep the Sapphires and zircons at the bottom. Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
