How long to run a sluice?

[Sluiceguy42]

First post!
I was at a GPAA gold show last year and during one of the lectures the speaker said that gold travels down a sluice box around 1 inch per minute. But on some older threads here on TreasuerNet it seems I can run my sluice all week without doing a cleanout. Not sure I should cleanout my sluice every 30 minutes or once a day . Any advice would be appreciated.

I let my friends run my keene. After the first cleanout they see the logic and wonder of the BGT. Going to have a couple new customers soon. I hear ya though, looks great on the garage wall otherwise

smart way to share and convince by showing instead of telling!

Beach sluice. Nesika beach has a lot of black sand. Lack of water flow is the main problem.

The clean gold beach sluice, I remember those guys. The gold is caught in the magnetite that is trapped in the sluice by magnets running under the box. It's a simple design that works good. Many of us have been using magnets under our metal sluices for many years. I'm glad to see that they are still in business after the fallout from years past on their patent.
