How much is it? I could be keen to go half's depending on price, shipping should be cheaper.

I can only get down south once or twice a year so I don't think a few extra specs will pay for it to soon. Im pretty happy with my miners moss in my keene a51. Thanks anyway good info.

I have rerun my cons after panning and still recovered some fines amongst the black sand, by using a small highbanker made with razor back and UR mat the only problem with Don's videos is that he likes to talk- lots. but they are entertaining and instructive.

I have a clean up sluice box, 6 inches wide, 5 foot long with 1/3rd razor back and 2/3 UR... works really well cleaning up everything screened #100 and finer.
