    I just won a Jimbo's Gold Miller Table kit, including pump.  Tried contacting him through his website and have heard nothing back in a couple of weeks.  No instructions are included, but I figured out the assembly from the slide show on his site.

    Looking to find an initial setup as far as flow and angle to run it at.  Any thoughts are welcome, as this will be first experience with one.

    I set mine up just about flat .And the water flow has to be adjusted .It will take some playing with it as I did .The flow can't be too much as it will bow the fine gold off .And if to slow it will not move the black sand .I might have a 1/4 '' drop on mine.Hope this helps some.And I do have a valve on mine for water control.

    I have a Royal Mfg. gold concentrating table that must work the same way. I usually have a 1/2 inch drop on the table and level side to side. Royal has a video of the table that might be of some help.

    You will have to play around with the water speed. To fast and small gold will wash down the table.  Sometimes I adjust the water as I go if I see gold moving down.

    Lighting is very important. To little and it is hard to see the flour gold. Sunlight is the best.

    Good luck,

    Scott L.

    Thank you gentlemen, will set her just off flat and play with the water flow.  Lighting is not a problem, 4 foot LED shop light on the covered porch that does a dandy job.

    I have found it depends on how fine the concentrates are. I have better luck with fines that I have run through a 50 and 100 mesh classifier. These tables are for the very fine gold so it stands to reason that you screen it down to fine. When all the material is the same size, it is easier to adjust the water flow and drop. 30 mesh seems to be to large. It tends to blow the fine gold off.

    I made a Miller table, and will be running it this weekend.
