Can anyone here give me a definative reason for the use of a punch plate in a sluice or rocker box. I can see using one in a highbanker or dredge but i don't see the need for one in a sluice. Am I off base here or am I thinking streight?

We have some great info in our Plans and Tips page about classifying.
Also instructions on making your own high volume bucket classifiers. Ours works great...... and fast! I wouldnt go prospecting without it!
