How do you like that goldfox trommel? Saw them on ebay and thinking of getting one. I'm just a relative casual or beginner though... mostly detecting and panning so far...so don't know awhole lot about sluices and stuff. Is there much benefit to it and having the trommel to just a regular little powered sluice or highbanker like the Gold fox? Thanks

It’s always nice when a friend loans you a sluice and it’s got miners moss you can clean the heck out of it and get their leftover gold😳😬 would that be considered moss dogging?

You might also consider (since you are into modding anyway) making your hopper a little flatter (and maybe larger) and giving the water more time to work the clay like a 'slush box' as they used to call it around here. Were it me in that, I would even think about making it a 2-stage rig, putting more than one layer of expanded with an inch or so gap between with smaller expanded on the bottom, for the water to blast that clay through. IMO clay is just more more more in as little space and effort as possible. Heavy pans brother!

A straight shot of water into the hopper is way better than spray bars when using small bilge pumps e.g. 1,100 GPH. It creates a boil effect at the front of the hopper box and saturates the material.
