[QUOTE="ozziii, post: 230747, member: 3482"] Thanks for posting Ag Man, that water flow is definitely much smoother & looks like it would reduce the risk of gold being flushed out, think I might have to look into getting something similar done. I had also thought about cutting most of that top section out on the hopper & capping the pipe, was going to leave some of the top flat part for strength & to stop the chance of water pushing gravels over the top as the water out of the 3 nozzles goes pretty hard when its just them running & I was thinking it would maybe act like a bit of a wash section with the top part there maybe causing the gravels to swirl around, sounded good when I thought of it anyway. That top section in the sluice, the catch tray, how does that work & is it a good addition. Looking at it I was thinking it might just fill with small gravel bits but I guess the water from the hopper would wash it out a bit, do you catch much gold in that part. Thanks. P.S, sorry about all the questions, I'm a thinking type person & like to know the finer details.lol. It will all come in handy for when I'm able to build my ultimate highbanker. [/QUOTE]
