    It looks like the sizes of gold vary quite a bit in your fines so I don’t think your sluice was running poorly, I’ve noticed if i run to hot or unclassified material in my system the larger flatter flakes get washed out and im left with mostly small stuff. Nice trip anyway and try to stay warm in that water 🥶🤣🤣✌️🍻✅

      Yeah it was definitely catching old but I can’t help but wonder if I was losing some. I won’t be doing that again, I’m actually going to try and stay away from digging as much as I can, my back just isn’t cooperating 😁.

      I wish I had like 10 employees I could pay to go ahead of me and move all the material off that bedrock so I could snipe it properly 🤣👌. Oh man that would be epic. Like a one ounce day epic 😎. Looking forward to seeing you in March brotha 👊

    As I've been saying to all those nay sayers there is no 1 system that gets 100% of the gold. Mostly you can catch all the chunky stuff. Those really flat flakes just catch the flow of the water and boom its gone. So it always pays to know what your after. You can't get it all but you can get what your looking for.
