    I would suggest that given the speed & volume of water you were running through the sluice that you list at least as much fine gold as you recovered. I think I would be using the yabbie pump directly down from the end of your sluice for 3-4 metres & then panning it. What do you reckon Chris?

      Point being, we test tailings as we go to make sure of stuff like that.

    Could you make a passive sluice pump? Larger diameter pipe set with input funnel to increase primary pipe flow/volume. Near the end of the larger pipe connect a plumbing fitting of main pipe diameter with a side input of 2" that comes in at 45° from the water input direction. This has a 2" semi ridged pipe connected that will become the suction pipe for picking up small particles that you miss with a shovel. The output end of the pipe coming from the plumbing connector has a length of the mainpipe connected to discharge into the sluice box.
