  1. Jeff, in use, the water should pass thru in one-direction only. You lower the Gold Hog into the pond/stream/whatever from just one-side -- like you're scooping to fill it. Always mush a full load. Then lift one-side, pulling the pan up, letting the spoil flow out like a typical sluice. Repeat, repeat, repeat. In a few strokes 80% is washed out... then 90%. Mush it again. 'Sluice it' again. Finally, you can vigorously work it side-to-side. By now, you won't toss out the babies. The Gold Hog is a survey tool -- not a recovery pan. You'll always need that. It's oriented towards lean-dust -- not pickers.

  2. It's a hand-sluice. VERY practical for field surveys. Amazing.

  3. You should've warned us that: "Yeah, you'll get WET!" Panning, when done right, creates a 'fluidized bed' in the gangue -- the spoil. The Au drops clean through (the spoil) and down... to be revealed.
