50.3inch Portable Folding Aluminum Alloy Sluice Box,Gold Sluice Equipment,Sluice Box for Gold Mining,Gold Panning Tools,Gold Prospecting and Mining Kit

Light weight and is designed well just waiting for the spring thaw to hit.the right the right place ought to eliminate alot of unessacary panning. Getting to old for that.

I just got one yesterday and set it up with a temporary recirculating water system. There are a few issues with this sluice like other comments have said, mine shipped without wingnuts ( nothing major ), the overall fit of the different sized pieces leave big gaps that gold will drop out of, the feeding end if not set fully down has holes along the side where the pivot point is thus leaving a huge riffle before the material even gets to the black mat, after finding some spare wing nuts and tightening the pivot points I found just picking up the sluice will fold it easily at those points thus I'm saying if any weight is applied ( like concentrate or rocks ) and the sluice isn't set upon a sturdy object at those pivot ponits as to keep them from moving , you will loose gold out of the bottom of the sluice. I had to drill 2 holes below the factory ones at each pivot point and add bolts. Not at all saying this is a bad product, on my 1st use it caught fine gold, however the black mat needs a bit of tweaking along with the miners moss and carpet after the black mat especially in my opinion. Most of the issues are easily resolved yet take away from the quick and easy set up.

I received the sluice box very quickly (Colombia), and the box it was packed in protected it very well during the trip.Upon opening it, I found a sluice box of very good quality, with excellent finishes. I had read that some had sharp edges, but mine is perfectly polished and finished.Everything fits together perfectly, and it's very easy to assemble.I just have one question: What is the purpose of the two screws attached to the center of the middle part?Should a wing nut be used on them?I'm very happy with my purchase. I hope to find lots of gold and create unforgettable moments!

So prospecting and using different sluices and highbankers over the years, I’m looking to find one that is easily transportable. This one is nice however I’m not keen on the loose intake that is not connected when you fold it together as well as happening to either pocket the two thumb screws to reconnect or replacing it inside, causing an opportunity for them to fall out. It’s pretty decent for trapping gold with the mat and it’s long enough to allow you at the right flow water and material to capture as much as you can. I like to use it with my other sluices and a reduction as I’m recirculating water for classifying. If you’re just taking it by itself, it’ll definitely do the job be careful and don’t lose the thumb screws as they are crucial and putting it all together. There are probably going to be a few modifications that I’m going to make to it as just the little black strap that screwed in is kind of ambiguous but for caring it that’s OK.

Excellent perfectly built sluice. Better than other sluices. It has better aluminum expanded metal than the competitor. Better wing nuts.. adjustable flare unlike other sluices. And the miners moss is better than the other competitors sluice I bought. I give this sluice 100%!! I used it all week at a mine and there's nothing to improve on this one. Like I said the other sluices like this online have several problems.

looks good. A gift for my brother in New Mexico

Haven't found much with it yet. Few flakes here and there. Good for throwing in a big backpack and hiking it in.
