So I have added a Le Trap to my toys, I was thinking about building a little stand and reverse riffle at the beginning of the Le Trap and hooking it up to my 2inch hydro force dryland nozzle and clean out of dry land tight spots...

Anyhow ever done any kind of dredging with the Le Trap? I have seen many use it for clean ups, But wanted to see what others that own or have used them thought..

Thanks All

If you start, stop, start, stop, I think you'll have trouble as water flow is what holds the materials in the Le Trap.

Some kind of sluice with matting will hold the gold much better if there's any starting or stopping.

All the best,

ive seen several of these setups over the years BUT with a 2 inch suction nozzle NOT a Hydroforce nozzle. I agree with Lanny on the starting/stopping of the water/material not working right !
