My setup never allows gold to travel any more than 4-5" down the riffles. I like to have the vee where the water necks down in the sluice about 3" downstream of the place where the expanded metal begins. If you cannot get it right, place some rocks under the sluice. Start your dredge and let it idle, you should be able to adjust the incline of the sluice with increased or decreased water flow. Be careful that there are no leaks between the two sluices. You can fasten it with vise grips but be careful to get it straight or it will funnel water to one side more than the other. I use a 4' metal sluice with armor weave expanded metal over ribbed carpet which I fasten to the end of my dredge sluice. (grin) This process will take less than 5 min. Only screen 2-3 scoops at a time so you can carefully check what is left in the screen for large nuggets. After you have emptied your sluice into a suitable tub, screen the cons with 1/4" screen into a five gallon bucket. I use a 5" triple sluice Keene and this clean-up method will work with anything 4" and over. If you do, bear with me, If you don't, enjoy. View our collection of gold dredging dvd's and books.
