[QUOTE="Dogmatic, post: 17165, member: 156"] I bought a river sluice and thought it would be great. On my last trip realised I was loosing a fair bit of the precious. After some consultation with Wal I ended up ripping everything out of it that the original manufacturer put in and refitted it. Removed the black ribbed mat, small expanded mesh and hungarian riffles. Now sporting a longer skid plate, bigger expanded mesh and of course the trusty bread crate. Had I built this myself it would have cost me half what it now has :rolleyes: Making a river sluice really is pretty easy and cheap, certainly a lot easier than the highbanker. A sheet of aluminium with the sides bent up. Half a sheet of aluminium (around $45 ?), some scrap expanded mesh (free or up to $15), old bread crate (free) and a Bunnings rubber matt ($15) You now have a sluice that should catch all your gold, hopefully. ;) [/QUOTE]
