I decided to go ahead and build a few portals in survival SMP and while I don't expect the rates to be high, I'd like to see at least one drop...
I'm sure I've seen more pigmen come out of a single 3x4 portal than evidently have appeared out of these three. In the 2-3 hours since these portals were built I've found zero gold in the loot chest.
On another note, I tested the lava blades ability to destroy items dropped into the water funnel. I fell from y130 on accident and just missed landing in the water, splatting on the side wall instead. Half my gear stayed on the wall, the other half apparently went into the water funnel and dumped my gear through the lava blade never to be seen again...

Something isn't right if you've found no gold after 3 hours. I would observe it for awhile and watch a zombie all the way through the process to see what happens. Are you sure zombies are spawning, if so are they falling off, are they dying, are the drops being destroyed or ending up somewhere unexpected?
The villagers are watching the show, either that or they are conspiring against the nut job bringing in zombies from another dimension.

I hate those threads that disappear into the either with no ending, so I'm coming back here to clean this thread up.
As an update the mixed Iron/Gold farm idea got cancelled as it turns out the server I play on has disabled pigmen spawning in the OW. Not sure why this rule was implemented but regardless it is beyond me to change it. I really liked some of the ideas some of you put forth for sorting the pigmen out and at some later point if the opportunity arises I may implement them into a build.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

Thanks again for the help!
Well, if you're feeling epic and have access to the Nether ...
I wanna build one just for the way you collect the XP!
Mintutor now works in 1.13!
MrKite & Mc_Etlam ... I salute you!
