Random question about classifying

[gldguy1]

So when I'm at the river, I see most people including myself classifying the material using a typical screen into a 5 gallon or 3 gallon bucket. Usually in a 4-5 hour day I myself can run about 15-20 buckets of dirt and maybe 25 after 8 hours( yeh I slow down a lot at the days end). In the documentary film LA miner as well as I have seen others using half a 50 gallon drum, then filling up a plastic milk carton and using that to classify down. Does anyone have thoughts or experience with that method compared to the buckets? Also most people where I'm at in nor cal including myself use a a-52 sluice or something similar. Any feedback would be great.
Thanks

Its not the 'volume' your classifying ,Its the quality of the material. Unless your doing hundreds of yds. per hr.
