Expanded mesh vs riffles. Marine carpet vs Miners moss the best setup

[QUOTE="Ag Man, post: 2111, member: 113"] I don't think it really matters which combination you use. It's all in the set up in the creek - the flow & angle & the volume of material put through the sluice. What ever you use - you want the sections between the riffles to clear easy enough. If they clog up - then the riffle does nothing & gold goes out the end. The river sluice I built has rubber door matting(honycomb holes in it) & angled riffles to hold it all down. No carpet or ribbed matting. Catches fine & course gold no problems. Had a high banker with the same set up. no problems. Will be building a highbanker again shortly with fairly well the same design. The main sluice I use now is an Angus MacKirk plastic one piece molded sluice with drop riffles. No removable carpets, or anything. Catches very fine micro gold to big stuff with ease. Quick to set up & clean. Light too. Again, what ever you use, it's all about how it's set up in the river. Get the ideal volume, flow & angle that suits your sluice - then feed it. [/QUOTE]
