I recently purchased the Angus Mackirk Eureka sluice and have used it a handful of times in the field. I've had some great success with it. I have been doing a lot of research and as much as I'd like to purchase a more advanced setup funds are a bit tight at the moment. With that said I'd like to build a power (recirculating) sluice out of it to use for processing material at home. Some locations that I like to prospect in don't have enough of a water flow to use the sluice properly so I'd like the option of being able to use it with a pump and/or to focus on collecting more material from the field and then processing it at home.
1. Is it possible/practical to do so?
2. What size (GPH) pump would be ideal?
3. How do I determine the correct pitch of the sluice for this specific application?
Any additional comments, suggestions, advice, etc...would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
