Just got this today!!! I think I am the first one to have one, I was calling Mark and Pat 2 times a day to get one shipped out to me! heheheh

This one is for my dad! I hope that he likes it, if I like it I will order one for me :)
Im thinking that this will be awesome for a clean up sluice of my Cons from the dredge!

i use the LeTrap sluice for my cleanups . looks like youll be able to do the same with this new sluice. after you cleanout your sluice from dredgeing, and before you reassemble it, put your new sluice in the dredge sluice up tight to the flair and start up your engine at a slow idel with just enough water to clean your cons. and while its running slowly add you screened cons to the new sluice and itll clean them up pretty nice for you.of course have a catch tub at the end of your slucie to catch anything you may lose.and so you can double check how its doing. this is the way Dave Mac and the 49ers do theirs at Happy Camp.good luck!

with such fine/small riffels, youd think it would work better if it used screened cons.

it has short and tall ones, should work good
