Darn, I missed this! However, I'm going to take a stab at it for the fun of it.
From your clues and your later post I'm wondering if it's something to do with gold fossicking?

You got it... it's was part of a gold sluice! Well done :)
Yay! Did you get any gold with it?
Actually yes... I made a recirculating system so I could go out in the dry bush. It was a lot of fun with a lot of muddy water... and a few bits of colour at the end as reward. But the effort to get a little bit of gold is really a lot... I think very few of the gold miners in the old times actually made a good living!
I doubt they did unless they hit pay dirt with a big nugget. I think they usually got just enough to pay for their essentials and keep mining.
Hopefully it was a fun exercise for you.
