Basic Principles:
The Goldblitz Sandbag is about 100cm in length and it's width is about 30cm. It is out of woven fabric (wich is essentional, because otherwise it will float! A plastic bag will not do!) and is especially made for us (see below, why we need a special one). A sandbag is a nice thing to have, if you are working with a sluice box. You may want to search hours for the suitable stone or wood, to lay the funnel of your sluice on, or you can fill up your sandbad and start working in some minutes. The sandback is used as bearing for the funnel an top of your dam. The effect is, that almost no water will flow under the funnel (and is lost for any action) and the incomung flow is very calm and without swirls or bubbles. Optimum for flitters and nuggets! The sandbag will not last forever although we used heavy fabric and added stiches to every side. We sewed the stiches at least double, there is nothing more you can do.
This is the optimal usage of the sandbag and the reason, why we need a special one here: fill the bag 1/3 with sand or fine gravel. Place the sandbag on top of your dam and fold it oce toward the dam at 50-55cm (that is the width of your Elvo III sluice!). This is why we need a longer sandbag as ussual and why wie do not tie it! The folds will disturb the flow and we need a flat surface of the sandbag. Sandbags are of course part of all our starter packs!
