    Your point about running in low flow is the reason why I bought the 8 inch bigfoot sluice. I can run it in most places, and have a 6 inch sluice for the really dry times. Looking forward to your videos running the other mats. I personally like the micro mat as a good all around solution, on the creek or during clean ups.

      I’m loving this 10in. It’s almost impossible to shovel into the 6 in box. I really appreciate it. Thank you bud

      good point! I already have a 6" and was trying to justify getting a big one as well. Would be so good to shovel straight in, going to have to get one now after seeing this.

    I picked up the 6×42 power sluice kit a while back with the micro and regular dream mat. Ran old tailings and found a small amount of fly poop in the mini dream mat. I tried it out in a stream in WI a few weeks ago and the width was perfect for the slower flow and got lots of black sand concentrates to process still. Dream mats are great and also great to see you showing each size!! Thank you! I feel lucky I don't have to deal with all the lead.

    I live in Oregon we find a lot of tiny flood gold in our creeks. I bought a Mini Dream Mat sluice for about $45 that beat my larger sluice at fine gold recovery. The Dream Mat is by far my favorite.

    I have the 8 inch bigfoot with the mini mat not the micro. I love it. I actually cut 6 inches off the whole sluice to make it easier to set up with less drop. Love it best sluice in the world. Great job on showing this. Awsome video btother.. holy smokes there was a lot of lead there. Some nice gold too

    It is much like the Bazooka Miner.
    The other Problem I have with that Sluice is that the Hydraulic Jets made to keep the Trap from hard packing with Garnets isn't powerful enough with just the pressure from the dammed up water.

    • @InternalCompassofNC
      @InternalCompassofNC  3 місяці тому

      They say 9 degrees but there’s other variables such as water flow/pressure. Less flow = steeper pitch. More flow = less pitch. I hope that helps
