I bought one of those "splash guards" when you first posted the Barbie- just haven't gotten around to setting it up yet. Maybe this winter. Looks like you had a good run this summer, Howard. 90% recovery is good for testing. Got to get off my but and get busy. lol Ted
The Barbie sluice was built to be a black sand concentrator and running clean water and material at a lower angle and slowing the flow & feed down it hardly misses a micro spec. I just so handy at sampling it gets double duty !
Ted The recovery when running mud and running a little on the fast side isn't perfect, But it works well for sampling what is being dug if nothing shows up out of the creavas being dug MOVE ON ! I save the material and re run it more carfully later and just guessing it has been working at about 90% which is just fine for sampling The up side is it takes very little water and in a dry area thats a real Plus ! it beats digging and hauling a bunch of non productive dirt !

Looks like you're giving Barbie a work out. Kind of a small sluice for production. Hows the recovery? Ted
