[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 366100, member: 7956"] Hey Nugs, what I was talking about was underneath the miners moss was to have a fairly deep channel in an arrow shape router cut into the bed of the rocker (you might find deep v matting, I was thinking 4-5mm deep channel), any heavies going through the moss would make their way to that, then at the front of the arrow a deep pocket, like an open jar could be cut into the base, (or even an actual jar screwed in from underneath, perhaps a baby food sized jar) I had that idea as the heavies should make their way to the pocket/jar any incoming lighter material will just get washed over the top. That's a little similar to how you place a bucket or pan at the end of your banker to check for any losses, the heavies stay in the bucket and the light stuff keeps getting flushed out. So if you had a series of those arrows on the rocker bed (they could be close together) then ribbed matting at the end. Might not work at all, just a wild thought, probably worth a crack. With the jar you could screw the lid underneath the cradle, then cut the centre out so you have a hole right through, similar to how people do it with a miller table. Clay soils is where the challenge will be, without a pumps pressure and jets, this type of device will struggle. [/QUOTE]
