sluice box

So wanted to share this simple sluice thingy i designed for my friend who builds it is in this video also. He had some pretty curious requirements for it. It had to fit as pieces into a car, cost basically nothing... So i went by the design shown. The most costly thing would have been the small...

Hello All, I just bought a Sluice fox unit with flare. Can somebody suggest way(s) to release the two miner moss retainers? For me pulling the sluice box outwards and simultaneously pressing the pins inwards doesn't work. I've also tried to open it using pry/rotate a small flathead screwdriver...

Since we cannot get out into the field to prospect properly right now, figured we'd share with you a piece of equipment we use for testing in our garage and also in the field for hard to get to places. Its great for hiking in, testing several locations and then coming back with larger...

Hey guys, I only recently discovered the magic that is gold prospecting and sluicing. I live in Los Angeles and was just introduced to the East Fork of the San Gabriel River a while ago. I never really got serious about anything until about 2 weeks ago when I picked up a piece of quartz on my...

As part of my equipment list I knew I would need a concentrator to reduce the volume of crushed rock I would get. After studying many sluice setups one seemed to have good principles i.e.. compact, and a waterfall or drop type underflow as apposed to an inline. The flow would naturally follow...

I was wondering in your opinion what would be the best sluice box for finding fine gold. With all of the forums I've read with people talking about their opinion of the best sluice put together, I've narrowed it down to these sluices and I was wondering, if you had to pick one of them, which one...

Some of you will probably think that this is probably a pretty strange post, but I'm planning on building an old-style "long tom" sluice box for display purposes (it will not be used for running any type of material). I haven't had a whole lot of luck finding up-close or detailed pictures of...

So I have a question. I have been having some trouble with the local ranger station. because of the uinta national forest service. they say that only pans are leagal here. that river sluicing and a hand Dredge is illegal in the hole state. when I asked about highbanking not being a river sluice...

Hello all, long time reader first time poster. The video is of my first recirculating sluice box build. Your constructive criticism is very welcome. This is a 30" box with an 1100 GPH 12v pump. I need 1" of incline per 12" of box, hence the bungee cords that can be slid forward/back or tied in...

I first started gold panning about one year ago and moved up to a homemade sluice box but never could get any gravel from the deep pools in some local creeks. I looked up how to make a simple hand pump for gravel but it just wasn't fast enough so I decided to make a suction dredge. I'm wondering...

I have been wanting to do a home-made sluice project using only rubber matting for easy clean-outs. Trying to do this on a budget I was hoping to find or figure out some sort of box. Finally a piece of recycle I found worked just about right. Here is What I'm starting with: Using some Gorilla...

I'm new to gold prospecting and just went on my first prospecting trip with my wife and kids and panned for gold at Lynx Creek for a few days. We found a little gold but I would really like to use my sluice for better results. Everywhere I looked it was either private property or there were...

SO I decided to cut down on the amount of refined #100 sieve amalgamate that i have and try to cut down on the amount of panning by building a sluice box with a twist. Gold Cube the beginning of the box... seemed like the next jump in cutting down the amount of fill/muck i was having to pan...

hey guys just a quick question. I have a royal 30" stream sluice box and I went to my local shop today to buy a classifier screen for a 5 gallon bucket. The guy said to just classify to 8 mesh. Is this about right? or should I clasify down smaller? Up here in northern california(Almost in...

Hey guys, I have a question. I have a royal 30" sluice box and was wanting to make a homemade highbanker with a recirculating water supply using a 1000gph pump in my garage. My question is... I think 30" isnt going to be quite long enough for the material to travel without losing some gold in...

Hey guys, just curious... do you prospect in a river or a stream and/or tributary? I am brand new at this and it seems like the very small stream has yealded 2 specs of flour gold but when i go to the "gold rich" river I find nothing. Do you guys have any pics of where you would normally...

Hey there everyone, just a quick question. I have been sluicing and panning and digging up what seems like the whole river( and tributaries) that is supposed to be the best gold bearing river in northern california but to no avail...I know I have my sluice box setup properly and have tried many...

Hey guys just a question...attached is a video of my new sluice box, this is the very first time that i had ever used one and I set it up per the instructions but after a few 5 gallon buckets worth of material...no gold. The river Im in is one of the cleanest rivers in the us and is known for...

hey guys, just another quick one. Say hypothetically I went panning and sluicing(30" sluice) and a really rich mineral river, every weekend for about 5 hours a day and each time you go out you get a few small flakes but the rest fine gold. How long do you think it would take to get 4 to 5 ounces...
