I was wondering if anybody has tried using sandbags to create a small dam for sluice set-up?
My spot does not have many big rocks so I usually have to shovel clay chunks to make a dam. I usually try to sluice in shallow waters running next to or ontop of sandbars. Problem with shoveling...
I was working a new small creek and found this sandbar with softball sized rock on JUSt the top layer. I dig about 2.5 inches down and its light sands for several feet and I assume clay about 6 feet down from looking at the surroundings.. I did find some very fine gold from the very top layer...
