You know, I don't know, it epends on your matrial, you'll have to ajust it to suit your conditions, but it is fairly steep. The gold should stay in the groves all the way to the center hole, and the black sand should still get washed down by the water nozzle, and a tip on that is keep you nozzle clean they do tend to clog up, Grubstake

My uncle has one, and loves it for running drywash cons through it, Once you get it set right, the gold in the black sand will just empty into the cup on the back, with none or very little sand. Grubstake

Thanks Jim, I'm sure Dean is looking forward to getting that. My best to you. Grubstake

Jim, I sent you an email. Dean from Mariposa wants one of the 414's and I sent you an email he sent to me, with his Mailing Addy and neme. Grubstake

Yeh, he is. Tex's brother,also named Glen was married to my mothers sister, for about thirty years or so, he had a really bad stroke, and couldn't work with his hands, and talk very good after that, he was also on oxygen, because of his lungs, He died a few years back. Glen was the one that tought me to drive, when I was only 13 years old, we would go fishing, up around Sacramento, on the levies, and Glen would get to drunk to drive back, so he would give me the keys and say you drive home, it was a 1950 ford, coupe with a flat head v-8 and three speed on the collum, with a over drive under the dash. Fun times being a kid back then. Tex used to drink heavy too, but when he got cancer gave it up. But he's fun to e around for sure. Grubstake

Naw, He drive a Geo Metro, with Oklahoma plates, when he moved out to quartzsite, he was filling up there and said: Gas was cheaper in Oklahome, the guy inside at the counter, said well I bet that little staion wagon gets good milage, Tex said. well I don't knowe. the guy said how many miles you got on that little car? tex said 294,000. Then gut said how many miles a gal. do you get? Tex said I don't know, its the first time I ever filled it up! Grubstake

That picture was taken up in Redding,Ca. Ray Mills {trinityau} had invited us up for a three day hunt. The picture is about three years old. But Tex looks the same. Oak tree! Grubstake

Scary stuff DOC, bottom line is buy from a Dealer, you trust. Grubstake

Anything above 85 is too hot for me, I'm setting under the water cooler now, yesterday, we got to 100 in my back yard. I'm only at 1935ft elev. so we stay pretty hot here, in the Merced river canyon one year it was 117 and, thats as hot as I've ever seen it here, but the agin, after you get past a 100, it don't really matter much. My son-in-law is in iraq right now, and I don't think its too cool there either. Grubstake

I'll keep you posted. Grubstake
