Good Evening Salutations Fellow Prospectors
It has come that time whereby my youngest and, to that my eldest son have taken interest in prospecting. So at Christmas as we are heading to Nowra for a couple of weeks on the beach, and a couple of weeks ago I took the Nerriga shortcut through Oallen, I though I would take them, as the youngest in 8, high banking to introduce them to it. Now I have spent most of my time, in medium scale placer and hard rock mining, which at the youngest's age is a little dangerous, but never really with high bankers. On Saturday arvo I knocked this unit up in the workshop. But alas gaps in my knowledge base are arising.
So my question to my fellow prospectors is.
1. Oallen Ford, still producing?, I think a few years ago crews were still getting some pretty good results out of there.
2. We spent a couple of hours saturday afternoon, folding and bending up a high banker, don t really play with them, so worked a lot of memory. So any comments on improvements for her, also was playing with the ideal of feeding her with a honda wx pump, or do you guys recon that I will need to run a 5hp 2 " pump. Her specs are
Sluice fall, 1:6
Width 400
Length 2400
Rifle height 40
Rifle angle 35deg
Moss 3m no woven
Was going to run a continuous 2" din pipe under fold in hopper, with a grisly, was thinking 5-8 mm free space.
1.Do I run moss the full length, even under grissly, like this
2.Do we run it from this point, and put a sheet of standard insertion rubber over the bare aluminium under the grissly.
3. Any other suggestion.
In anticipation of the replies, thank you
