I talked to an old prospector/equipment operator in Fairbanks a few years ago. He said that they used to use chain at the end of the sluice to catch the nuggets. If the gold was too small to be caught in the chain it was to small to bother with. :eek:
I have found several tailing piles with flour gold in them that all you have to do is shovel all day long to get the flour gold. Lost 16 pounds in 10 days doing this one time. Figured I made quite a savings in the health club membership.
