Hey guys.. Just after a little guidance, found this mesh at work any ideas if this will work?

Each slit is approximately 25 wide

Hi Stuart 1989,

Looking at that mesh and my advise is save your energy for a piece that knows will work, this will not" reason being it doesn't have the same configuration as companion/gangway expanded mesh where only every second expansion aligns, yours aligns with every one and will not only bog very quickly it will not classify properly and keep clean to allow gold to drop behind each expansion. You will lose your hard dug gold out the back.
I might be peeing on the wrong tree here but due to many years of experience and experimenting I would say that the expansions are too close to each other and will not create the vortex to clean out this area and you will have a carpet effect ie: where the sand will align with the top of the expansions and look like a carpet when you shut off the water.

Haha I knew it was gonna be too good to be true.. I have used this for a while so who knows how much gold I've missed.. So that other expanded mesh I could use an old diamond shape security door?
