[QUOTE="TenOunce Tone, post: 17158, member: 288"] Kingsy, in all honesty mate, have a good look at the cost and time spent on making a sluice as opposed to buying one ready made.. I have made a couple and they work, but with all the running around etc I think I would have been better of saving the $100 or so dollars and buying an Angus Mackirk, I was loaned one for a trial and found it worked well in the stream i was in with very little flow. There is a model that will cost you about $60.00. The type of sluice also has to be somewhat tailored to suit your target stream.. a lot of things make it work in different ways, size of gravels, water flow etc. I am in no way linked to any retail or commercial venture associated with MacKirk Sluices, but have a look around, give the site sponsor [url]http://www.detectaden.com.au/[/url] a call and discuss what you need with Brad or one of the boys, or call into your local prospecting equipment shop, they will guide you what is best for your area and within your budget and experience level. Mackirks are light and strong and trap the finest of gold. Just my two bobs worth.. Cheers, Tone [/QUOTE]
