[QUOTE="ozziii, post: 230563, member: 3482"] Thanks everyone, going to enjoy having this thing I reckon. Sure does speed thing up G0lddigg@, & that was only going real slow getting an idea on what I should be doing. CECC, I've been looking at that myself, wasn't sure if changing sluice angle would make it better, might try it next time. I guess steeper would speed flow up & cause riffle to be layed over more but was thinking that could also cause gold to be washed out. Thought about flattening the sluice so less angle which would make riffle steeper but then water would slow down, probably run deeper over the riffles & maybe not cause the waves as much, but it may also not wash gravels out as much. From my test run yesterday I would say it may need to be run a little steeper as there was still some reasonable sized stones that stayed in sluice & a decent amount of fine gravels. The riffle mod Ag Man has done sounds like the best way to sort it out, will have to check out the pic when you post it Ag Man, thanks. I think I had the sluice section at 10 degree to start with & made it slightly steeper later on to help wash more gravels out. [/QUOTE]
