[QUOTE="Horse, post: 54258, member: 2101"] As far as I remember...the hydraulic sluicing claims in California were owned by a syndicate. Most of the workers under the Foreman were working for wagers. Huge areas claimed, so separating the run off would not be an issue. Sluices were the catching method. The force of the water from the Monitors (brand name of nozzle) reached around 50m/s A bit of a read here, and some photos of the destruction left behind including a current day pic [url]http://www.sierracollege.edu/ejournals/jsnhb/v2n1/monitors.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
