![]() ![]() That's why I run a bit of Gold Hog up top, then the Dream Mat, then the moss and expanded. The Dream Mat handles faster water great, where the Gold Hog gets scoured out, so I'm always going more aggressive as the water speeds up going down the sluice. In my over/ under set up, most of the gold drops thru the screen and stops right there in the head of the box with 1/2" expanded over deep V before the water starts speeding up as it travels down the box into the miners moss. a little gold hog followed by a little Dream Mat up top followed by Miners moss with different grades of expanded the rest of the way down the box works for me. I prefer Dream Mat over Gold Hog in smaller boxes like my GoldFox Extreme, but when I have the room. I've ran it for years now and it's easy to clean, but for me, I get better recovery by mixing my box up. it works, but it doesn't take the place of simple expanded over miners moss. His custom dredges were fantastic.Īs far as Gold Hog goes, personally. I have a friend that started building dredges with that same style screen classification that made a great living on the Bear River below Colfax, above the red ball markers for decades probably 30+ years ago now. ![]() I tried to set my sluices up to trap the finer gold (Mid-west fine gold) and IF I ever got a small picker, it would handle by itself ! You have what it's gonna take to get that fine gold ,knowledge/experience /location ! GOOD LUCK ! I wish I could be there with you! BUT. Run another sluice box parallel to your current sluice to help slow the water for your finer gold, and to have a place for the smaller screened material to go. 2) slow or speed up the water flow to help clear the mat's. ![]() 1) smaller classification screens and then run those cons separately. It appears to me that you need to possibly do a couple of things to stop that loading of the riffles. It was very convenient to do this at home rather than in a different location. Each state /creek /stream I went to varied a little bit so that's why I made different set up's for different condition's for the stream. When I was still dredging ,I traveled around a LOT to different places / states so I made various riffle sections that spaced the riffles spacing / heights / angle /and different hole dia'.s for my punch plate classifier's. ![]()
