WATER TOO FAST?....TOO MUCH FEED?....????GOLD ON TOP..OF RIFFLES...NOTHING IN THE DEEP "V"...MATTING

First off did you pan the run off to see if you are losing gold? How big is the gold on top? if it is fine 50 or smaller mesh then unless you are running a Gold Hog clean up mat, then you have problems. But Really if you are not blowing gold off the end, then I am as stumped as you. If you are blowing gold off, and it is fine gold, then slow the water down, lower the pitch some, and check the run off again. Until you get it tuned in, then use a catch basin at the bottom to collect the tailings.
