[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 166310, member: 147"] Several vids on You Tube showing the method, but it's no different to wet panning in that the agitation is the same only instead of of washing the surface gravel over the pan lip, you push it over by hand. Basically you agitate from side to side settling the gold towards the back of the pan first, then tilt the pan forward and re-agitate to get the gold into the first deep grove of the Super Sluice. Then tilt the pan to between 30 to 40 degrees whilst still agitating. We then push about half the pans contents over the edge of the pan and repeat the process one more time. ( Same principal as using a nugget scoop to retrieve the nuggets when detecting.) This method once practiced will gain you close to 100% of the coarse gold and better than 85% of the fine gold. A must in this process is to put the dry wash through a set of sieves and vigorously rub the wash over the mesh to break away the dirt and clay from the majority of the gold.( 1/8" and 1/4" sieve is what we use personally). A piece of gold within a chunk of dirt will not stay at the bottom of the pan. Wal. [/QUOTE]
