That's awesome Duck!. Glad you and your sniper are having such a good time together. That's a nice dam you built To make the best of your water source. I haven't been out in seven weeks and I'm hoping to go out Saturday or Sunday supposed to be sunny and 72. Woo hoo!

Can't wait to finish my clean-up! Looks promising so far. Did that look like good enough flow? Curious if I lost any gold from lack of fluidization in the trap

I would say that was enough flow as long as you kept feeding it at about the pace you were. Sometimes with that little bit of flow you do have to clear the grizzlies by hand. Did you check the trap with your finger to see if it was still fluid?. One thing to be remembered, it does work great and low flow but you could probably give that box four hundred percent more water and it would still do a great job for you. An amazing super versatile sluices.

I mean I could push my finger to the bottom of the trap but I didn't feel anything moving around my fingers. Should I?

As long as you didn't have to force your finger in, it was perfect! I have never felt the stuff in my traps move, but "I get the gold!"
