I couldn't decide which sub forum to post this but this looked the closest so here goes. I was wondering which to get for those areas where you have to be on the down low and can't set up a sluice but want to move more material than the standard gold pan would you suggest? A few years back I'd see threads about the Rotapan but now no one is talking about them at all and now I see interest in the new Nugget Bucket.
In theory the action looks very similar but the Rotapan is way more expensive but is it worth it? I came into this situation where I need one or the other as there is this creek in Los Angeles County that is about 3-4 feet across with slow flowing water. Also NO panning allowed because of a eco-freak lawsuit so if I had one of these fluid bed devices I could of found an out of the way spot to run my dirt from an area close by quietly.
Thanks for your time and help,
Randy
