Hi. How do you work your claims, do you use a suction dredge or anything like that?

On a somber note, a tragedy is unfolding in DC as there are no survivors in the plane crash. So sad.

That was difficult to understand that even happening. Yes very sad to see.

They look very good. Things have changed a bit since I used a car battery operated sluice which my father owned. All it had was a boat bilge pump and diamond metal mesh with fake turf/grass matting under it. Worked ok.
