Here is my latest configuration for small gold.
48" with flare. Metal Lathe with openings of ~1/4" over minors moss over backed felt and a ribbed inspection area. Held in place with clamps. I also have two types of ribbed carpet I can use depending on material being ran and stream condtions. I will screen to 1/4" prior to running.
I'm going to field test it this week.
Wish me luck!!
Update - I got out and tested the sluice. I was running bank material without classifying just to see how it would move cobbles. I was pleased with the performance but not so pleased with the area that I was working. Sample pans didn't show anything to get excited about. I have yet to pan the concentrates so I will update again if I come up with some color. I included a video and some pics of the area I was working. The stream was full of fine sand and gravel 3-5 feet thick. After the snow pack melts a little more I might try the area again. I had a hard time regulating water flow due to the increase of flow through the stream as the day warmed up. Had fun!
