[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 137728, member: 1582"] I've read one of those 100+ pages of sluice theory and he seemed to indicate the nothing/slick plate section was prob more successful than any matting...the aluminium and the gold had a very good relationship. Kind of like the "light" material bounces like a tennis ball, while the gold bounces like a piece of lead....ie it sticks to the aluminium and slides straight into your first trap. I like the theory and my banker seems to prove that for me in the field. I'm not loosing gold, just make sure its not sliding under the mat! I think that the liquification of your material is paramount, physics seems to do the rest pretty well. I reckon I could use paddle pop sticks as riffles and they would catch the gold....if you know what I mean. :lol: [/QUOTE]
