I was wondering if your forum duiamond expert, John Tonko, or any of the other can answer a few questions for me.
Any pertinant info on Diamond sluicing? I was told one time before that miners moss was the way to catch diamonds. What about the riffles? What size, shape, angles do the riffles have to be at to catch diamonds? How do you determine the angle of the sluice. I know the amount of water running through will determine the proiper angle set. What about material like grease and beeswax which diamonds stick to. Should that be put into the sluice/riffles? I thought i had read that alluvial diamonds didn't stick as well to grease as did hardwork material. Is that true or does it make that big a difference? Any other info you can provide? jason -------------------- Amethystguy cometh and the amethystguy taketh away

Hi Jason,
If you are serious about finding diamonds I can tell you how to build a proper washpan so you can find all the diamonds small and big. The small ones pay for all the expenses while the big ones will buy that Ferrari! However the Pan is not small nor cheap and you will need a proper front end loader to feed it. Anyway it is worth it! One 5 ct stone will cover your expenses. Cheers DD PM me |
