I patiently waited a whole three days for my new 36-inch Sniper to arrive on the porch! That has to be a USPS record for a Bazooka!
This maybe a greenhorn (which I am) response to all of the above, but wouldn't it be appropriate to have a tailing bucket or additional sluice to catch the fines and flour if someone was worried about catching all the gold? I was considering running my A52F behind the Bazooka this Thursday simply because of the area I intend to prospect (Bear R in CA). However, I am not too concerned about catching everything. That being said, working too hard does concern me!
This will be the initial trial run, but I have a ton of confidence I this new piece of equipment; which, is probably the most important factor this early in the learning phase IMO.
I am planning on a cleanout every hour and bringing the cons home to run in the G/Cube at a later time.
