Is there a difference between the Gold Cube vortex and Martin's "Directional" mat

Feel free to comment and tell us the differences and which is better at catching micron FLAT PLACER GOLD 100- and below.

It's just roughtop conveyor belt. There are many versions out there. Some are better than others. Different ply's, different composition, different designs. I have and use 4 different types, all mine are similar and do about the same as far as gold recovery. flow, angle, classification, and feed rate, are the real determining factors as to recovery.

A bud rice farmer told me there are over 1,000 types styles of ag belts also. You could spend a lifetime playing with samples. I get some of his leftovers from assembly and run tests,tests and more tests. 1/10 the cost of miner bs. Still nuttin beats but Shaw carpet for sharp angular shales or elongated sharp edged rocks...but still lookn' and testing again now that we finally got some rainwater to use up here .AMEN to that-John

-100 mesh and how far below? That definately sounds like a challenge. Even with optimum sluicing like GG mentioned you might be getting beyond the typical sluice recovery capabilities for high % recovery? Even a properly set up table or jig would require quite a bit of screening I'd think.

If you are screening below 50,100,200 mesh is it by hand or are you using some kind of shaker deck or trommel?

I'm sure its being done somewhere and I've always wondered how they do it with any kind of throughput since the smaller you screen the more the oversize seems to get stuck in the screen.
