>You actually boughted?
Yup.
And a few more things I'm not very proud of. But otoh, some other speculative-retard-plays played out, so in the end, I'm exactly where I would have been, had I just gotten some S&P500 ETF, so I'm not particularly mad. Also, my Gold ETF that I have since forever is well in the green too (as is my physical, but I probably don't have to touch that), so meh.

Is that a 250g bar in that pic? That's like 8 ounces alone, so 160 is quite the lowball, even 250.

Yo, Pan Man, forgot to check your dubs last thread:

>oh also the wider the sluice the more water flow your going to need. Too narrow and you blow all your fine gold out with to much aggression in flow. You want a nice set of rapids in your sluice, you want a nice sharp back eddy in riffle bars or on your bed to force gold down into the mat.
Also, thanks for the input. Very helpful!

and that fits right with what you're saying. He's obviously trying to sell his mats and gear (can't really blame him), but that vid also seems like a pretty good primer on sluices. Lots of stuff is obvious (hurr, durr, trickle like low flow and a 5 inch bar isn't gonna work...), but it's pretty well put together.
But I definitely need a sluice with a removable mat, so that I can change or mix up, if needed when I figured out my system and needs (or one that's so cheap that I don't care about just not using it, but I doubt I'll find a sluice for, say 25€). But it seems for the start, it doesn't really matter which one or which brand, as long as it's got a few different catch zones.
Seems like I could also just jury rig some extension where I add .5m of miners moss or very fine riffles below my sluice, if I find I'm blowing out fine gold.
Just two more questions:
>oh also the wider the sluice the more water flow your going to need. Too narrow and you blow all your fine gold out with to much aggression in flow.
I probably could simply clamp some wood to the side(s) of a wide sluice, thus making it narrower. Sure, gonna change the flow a bit, but if anything, I'd expect some vortices where the wood touches the mat, so probably sucking gold under the wood, instead of blowing it out.
And what's the deal with those inspector rubbers some sluices have at the funnel, and some don't have?
