G,day Grandpa,
I would be interested in what you have come up with in relation to catching fine gold,i have not long finished building a banjo using expanded mesh as the riffle system but if there is a better way.
Cheers John

Hi John,
Catch trays are certainly a big benefit. Firstly they offer quick access to your sluice to check on your gold takings and secondly they catch the bulk of your gold.
On my sluice I estimate my catch tray catches 70 to 80 percent of my gold, with floor matting and riffles catching the rest. This includes fine gold from fields such as Eldorado.
I am planning a new sluice with twin catch trays, with a set if riffles to catch the rest.
If you wish for some pics, send me a PM.
Cheers
Simon
