Well that was a jolly good read, thanks for posting it... I read about the 1/2 that applied to sluice boxes and their design. Most of the sluice box stuff applied to the likes of 10 m long sluice boxes.

One really interesting tit bit was on the merits of installing expanded mesh in what we would consider a forward slopeing aspect.

Suction dredges and sluice boxes are all about compromise, the point is that armed with this sort of info, you can get creative to find what will work best for you at any given location with any given setup.

My persnal thoughts are that as long as you can get a slurry travelling down your box, then the gold will almost without fail fall to the bottom of that slurry and settle around any obstical that creates obstacle to that flow. An ability to seperate different sized aggreagtes assists greatly in getting gold to settle.
