    Do you see good colour in this quartz

    looks like some nice looking sulfides mate, if there's free gold you'll find it with a dolly and a pan if not you will need to crush it and leave it sit outside for 3 months then crush it again and pan, the sulfides will hopefully ahve released the gold by then. i've seen quite a bit of ore like...

    How do you set up a sluice?

    You are 100% correct mate the angle actually dictates the cleaning/clearing function .

    How do you set up a sluice?

    Mate thats an indication that the lower end of your sluice is too deep in the water. Kimd of like a car smashing into a sound barrier everything gets chewed up and drops out of suspension.

    Gold Rat Mini Cleanup Sluice / backpack Highbanker

    NSW Highbanking - what is the current state of play?

    well that's disheartening, i would say ive seen a trend in Brisbane towards promoting prospecting by government in mainstream media i hope to make some changes. if not we will peg and peg some more and open ground up to the public. I don't agree that pumps are gone in nsw at all.. time will tell
