[QUOTE="Newbie, post: 2105, member: 62"] Hi guys and girls, I am looking for the best setup in my sluice box. I reckon I might be missing a little bit of the fine stuff whilst sluicing. Whats everyone's take on the mesh versus "straight bar " riffles. I am kind of still new at this but I think that expanded mesh will be better with fine gold recovery than the bars just from the way the water runs over it. Has anyone run any trails with there own machines to see the different capture rates of fine versus course. Whilst we are at it miners moss versus the marine carpet. I like the carpet as you get a little more riffle effect on the water. Though just thinking about it would the miners moss be better if I am using the expanded mesh for my extra riffles. Do you have to do a clean out more often with carpet than with miners moss or vicer versa. Does Expanded mesh clog faster? Do you need more flow rate with the mesh or less? What is best for fine gold? What is best of coarse gold and nuggets? [/QUOTE]
