[QUOTE="Aussie Detecting, post: 2118, member: 8"] Seen a prime example of not watching your Highbanker on the weekend. On my exploratory mission, I came across a dam which someone had been using. I panned a quick pan of the exit of the Highbanker. Bingo, black sand & fine gold. 2 things either went wrong or the one of the 2. 1) they weren't cleaning out as often as needed causing the riffles & matting to clog washing their gold out or 2) they were running it too fast. Either way they only got 70 - 80% of their gold. Watch what your sluice / Highbanker is doing. Run a small test amount to ensure you have your flow & angle set right. Don't let it clog up. Clean it out more often then less. So what is the best? Miners moss, ribbed mat, drop riffle, Hungarian riffle, straight riffle? The answer, what you feel suits your needs & you're comfortable using. I use a lot of different ones & I can say honestly each has its good points & bad too. There's no perfect answer. [/QUOTE]
