Lets do an experiment to see which works best, sluicing or dry washing. Ever wonder how efficient dry washing is? It depends on a lot of different factors - mostly how coarse the gold is and how much clay in is the gravels. Under the best conditions dry washers with coarse gold they can capture well more than 95% of the gold. However, with fine gold, you may recover well less than 50% of the gold. In this video, I am testing what I would call almost worst case conditions. I will be testing with my recirculating sluice box. We will see if we gold more gold by the sluice or by the dry washer.
