    Too bad I don't live in Australia or in important gold-bearing areas, but it comforts me to have a gold-bearing river that, without giving large pieces, is hitting them in almost every punt. Now that I've seen the high bench I think I'm going to modify my sluice box with a mini-dream mat so I don't have to hit as much. This river does not have much water flow in 8 months of the year, so using sluice is not always possible. Very grateful for your videos, they are teaching me a lot. Thanks. Greetings from Girona, Catalonia.

    There's a guy here in Colorado that has a channel called prospecting with Scotty. He puts a small, flat rubber band on the exit cone of his blue bowl to enable it to be run more aggressively and trap the fine gold that might otherwise be washed out. Looks too work pretty good. Amazingly, i haven't bought or made one (Scotty also has video on making your own blue bowl) to try out hack; got just about everything else.. 😉
