Amazing very good, good lucky

Thats an awesome sluice!

Awesome! PLEASE do this with a clear regularly shaped pan, so we can see just how fast the gold drops to the bottom. I have a feeling the gold drops to the bottom much faster than most people realize and that they are over stratifying and wasting time. A clear pan will settle this!

You can polish out the opaque machined sections of your sluice using a few different methods. The easiest is Flame Polishing where you use a propane torch held at a distance to heat and partially melt the polycarbonate. It turns it back clear, but can be a little bit tricky to learn as your first use it. It is easy to burn the poly, so practice is required. Another method is to use a acetone and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) vapor chamber. It's really just a box with a container of acetone and MEK mixed together. It creates a vapor that partially melts the poly and turns it clear. Pretty effective and has great results.

If I may borrow one of your terms, crackin mate! (or something like that)

Heck yeah let's see this guy grow just subbed 🤘⛏️🇺🇸

Polycarbonate is stronger than acrylic btw, although both are carbon based polymers. Not the same thing. Awesome idea! I like how you can see what's happening in the sluice. Very cool.
