Anyone Ever Notice Some Good Sluice Matting Possibilities From Shopping Carts?

[John-Edmonton]

Anyone ever eyeball those shopping carts abandoned on streets at the different designs they are made of? The one that stands out to me is the plastic hexagon design, about an inch across. I figure they might work well as a sluice or highbanker, perhaps over minor's moss, carpet or ribbed matting. What do you guys think? Ever try it?

Over the years I've collected a LOT of items that could/would work well in something or the other ! and ended up with a garage almost full of "stuff" . Now that I've retired from everything EXCVEPT "honey do's" I still like to make things out of my "collection" of junk....I mean useful parts ! 😮‍💨

There was an austrailing guy on youtube several years ago that used them in highbankers. His wife was also digging in his videos. Believe her name was liz. should be able to find them. He talked about the design. Seemed to work!

Edit: Actually found it right off!

I tried the bread crate riffles like in the YouTube video and they did catch gold.
