[QUOTE="JoshHat, post: 135945, member: 4622"] Hi there, My father and I recently finished building our Sluice's high banker, this is our first time sluicing and I guess were not quite sure if we are doing it right. I've looked both around the internet and on these forums and haven't found to many instructions, so I though I'd post to see if I could get the advice needed. The sluice was bought from a professional builder, forget the name. We built the high banker from an old water thing, it has a mesh filter to take out the larger rocks, this is all powered by a cheap eBay 2000GPH pump. We've spent approx 5 hours so far out sluicing in river beds (Looking very promising) and yet to find any gold.. These are the main questions I currently have.. [list=*] [*]How much angle should the sluice be on? [/*] [*]How much water should be flowing though the sluice?[/*] [/list] Below, some pictures of our setup.. (The foam is due to the water tank we used was full of handwash before.. :rolleyes: ) [img]http://i.imgur.com/T9Ac5Tf.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/BtOe7TS.png[/img] Thank you for reading, I can't wait to hear for a reply so we know were doing it right!
