Is there any difference in the trap size between the 3 different sniper models? Or is it just length and width at flare?
WAY WAY WAY WAY X10 too much froth and turbulance. That will prevent gold from settling out. You are going to blow fine gold past the trap.You need smooth flow. material has to run down the deck and stratify. If you watch one run in a creek you will notice the grizzly lifts material away from the dense bottom layer. The whole dynamic is destroyed with that kind of deck flow.I made a short video of my 36" Prospector running as a power sluice. My friend was a week out of surgery and I was two weeks out of my own surgery so we were careful not to do any heavy lifting. We dollied a Honda WB20 (164 gmp) pump out to a 55 gallon drum of water, thus the short video. The Honda was running about ¾ throttle and I believe it would work fine at just ½ throttle. We didn't have any paydirt to run so it was just a water flow test.
Video is located at the bottom of the page HERE

Not a complaint a frustrationWell being that most everyone who tries this complains about not being able to get enough water over the deck, I would say it's a good mod.![]()
