[QUOTE="MDH, post: 94031, member: 23886"] pjg, I too had my doubts about the effectiveness of the matted section after 3 runs when I first built my sluice when after cleans I found the results were 1 spec in the mat then nothing then 2 specs, the rest was caught in the expanded section with nothing beneath. Then you take it to a place which has a lot of really fine gold like eldorado and you get a shock at just how effective it is in catching the really fine stuff! Still the best part by volume is caught in the expanded section but from the 1 or 2 to hundreds of tiny specs caught by the matted section speaks for itself. Now I'm at the thought of I don't care if there's nothing in the mat but confident that safety net is there if I hit a patch of flour gold that it'll still get trapped. [/QUOTE]
