Silt catching system

[dwt]

This is a follow on from the prospecting rules and regulation section of the forum, i have been at design stage of a silt catching system for a few months now to help keep the greens of our backs while we are out banking trommeling or river sluicing, ive hit a few snags, and with working away has just slowed the process, so im asking PA members to throw in their ideas and hopefully we can come up with a user friendly way of desilting some of the water after sluicing, so get your thinking caps on.
Once the best idea is agreed upon the designs will be posted in this section for ALL to copy and use at their own will. Lets show these greenies we mean business and help put a stop to the proposed changes in prospecting laws.

Maybe run hibankers further away from water and let gravel filter water, I don't see any other way other than recycling water

civil construction green silt fences with short star pickets have worked for me quite well, keeps the silt dammed up pretty good but once its full to the top of the fence I just started another 1 above it. in a gully where I did this the fences full of silt are still sitting there and holding last time I checked.

but the problem with that is that my waste is now above the natural ground surface height and im sure that's not what a green would like...

so the next gully I chose to dig dams below my work area so that way im just leap frogging the ground and atleast trying to keep the ground height the same as I found it.
