I picked up my pair of Bazooka's today and, looking at them, I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to put in a short strip of ribbed plastic matting on the slick plate just below where the material will be dumped.
My thought is that it would be used as a tell-tale, i.e. it would hold some color, if there is any, to give you an idea how you're doing with the material you're running.
I did this with the flare on my aluminum sluice and it works great—if I'm not seeing color there after running some buckets then I probably need to find a new spot.
I'm worried that with the out-of-sight gold trap on the Bazooka I'd have to pull the whole sluice out of the creek to empty it into a bucket, then pan the cons, just to get a quick how-am-I-doing check on things.
Experienced Bazooka guys: Thoughts?
