Fluid bed at tailing of recirculating Sluice

[G-bone]

Hey All!

I am working on my re-circulating Sluice set up and had an idea....

For Christmas I bought the kids a "Gold Rush Nugget Bucket" and the basics of that system is a fluid bed, which really works well.

So I started thinking about making a fluid bed that my tailing's would fall into in my recirculating sluice.

As I think about it, it seems to make sense and would act as back up - catch for any lost color.
That vs. having to pan through your tailing's regularly to make sure your not loosing anything.
Of course, the size of everything needs to be increased due to volume of material and water, but I think it would work well.

Has this been done by anyone out there? Or been seen yet?

Cheers
