I'm sure that lots have already seen this, but for those who are designing their own equipment, this is a good read.

Cool info. One highlight for me was that they dry classified and then wet classified and found over 1/4 of the gold was NOT captured with dry classification!


Starting on p 64 there are some good notes on how to build a good box too. Expanded metal at the top, riffles for a nugget trap down lower for example. Anyway, good stuff!
