Way too many things wrong on the vid. No classification? Look at the big rocks rolling down the sluice. Too much material at one time. The flow rate of water and angle don't look good to me either. No riffles?
What a waste of time and work to set all that up, dig all that dirt and then blow it all by dumping the bucket in in a big mound...shaking my head. Use a trowel dude, and slowly feed it in one or two scoops at a time. You'll get a lot more gold that way...unless you like to sweat for nothing.
what a waste of paydirt. Too much causes the top layer flow all the way down like a mud slide as you see here . There is no effect for the gold to be at the bottom at any time. Small trickles of dirt is the only way. I see this too often.
If anyone thinks he's doing this wrong, they're right. You should research the developments popandsons has made before you comment too much on this video. They currently have the best minds and methods in fine gold recovery in the biz. This video is not indicative of their abilities. Kind of ridiculous actually. I'm sure they'd agree these days.
c'mon you all should know better! He is not gold sluicing at all. This is the sluice method for finding water spiders. Look at the ground real close and you will even see some water spiders that got out. The real problem is he did not use the cob web moss in the bottom of the sluice.
Sluicings all about flow dynamics-and uniformity of partical size is crucial to flow structure and pattern.I ues a trommel to classify below a half inch.I also use the whole 9 yards(rib mat,miners moss,hungarian riffles,expande3d screen and carpet )in the recovery sluice,to maximise my take.What are you useing?
I doubt he has much to show ...... unless he got really lucky or there is much more to his sluice then meets the eyes.
As Tedhestick said above. Hes dumping it in WAY too fast and he didn't classify the material before hand so those large rocks etc are going to cause some gold loss.
Btw.. I just paned out some concentrates i had lmao.. Micron stuff is a pain in the ass to pan but it all adds up and looks good in a vial :)

Looks like noone reads the comment of the OP... he was testing the performance of the sluice...
