I bought some ribbed black matting and cut it to fit my Gold Hog piglet and turned it into a cleanup sluice. I had been worried my home made miller table was losing some gold and confirmed with with some test panning of the leftover cons. It caught most of it, but some gold was slipping through. I really didn't want to add another piece of equipment to further clutter my mining camp....I mean my back yard, so I thought I'd try the ribbed matting in the piglet.

I was a little worried that the Honda pump would flow too much water to run the Piglet this way, but it actually worked well idled all the way down. I ran the leftover miller table concentrates twice, but only caught a handful of very tiny specks on the second run through. I'm glad I learned from others and kept the leftovers to run again! This is from about 3 gallons of miller table leftovers.
