How to Use

The mini sluice is perfect for "sample prospecting" and finish sluicing your final materials at home. Its tiny size and weight make it easy to pack into areas where you might not want a lot of weight with you. It's also a great beginner sluice for kids.

This sluice has a few different options on how to use it. You can either use it with the basic "V matting" (the black plastic mat), or with the V matting and the miner's moss. If the area you are prospecting has a lot of very fine gold, you will want to use both the V matting and the miner's moss. You can use your mini sluice with the V matting on the bottom, the miner's moss on top of that, and finally add the metal screen and screw it down with the washer and the screw.

Came on time. It is smaller than you would think but it’s still nice and it does work. It’s Worth the money if you are just starting out like me. I’m not good at panning yet so this really does help.

I love this small sluice because it will fit perfectly in my backpack along with my other gold panning supplies. It looks like it's going to work pretty well. I will use a tablespoon to feed the sluice and put a bucket under it so I don't lose anything with running water. Thanks for a good and honest transaction! Great price and love the miners moss included.

We took out the moss and cheap expanded metal (the EM is the cheapeast and only flimsy thing on this product). Moss is fine but we wanted to use the sluice and v-matting as a crash zone before feeding our bigger dream mats.The screws stick up way to much if you aren't using the moss and expanded metal riffles, and even then it's a PITA. The bolt welds are easy to break and make this a fixable problem with $.50 of hardware if you need a low profile without the bolts messing with your flow.The sluice works fine otherwise in flows tested between 500gph and 1200gph. At high setting it's mostly a screener and crash zone; put some mats/skirts ahead and below to even the flow and 90% of the big stuff gets still gets caught before it hits the dream mats. Great for demos, kids, and anyone who is new and/or might react positively to "oh snap was that a piece of gold?!".

Not only did it come with a cool Sluice Fox sticker, but it included the miners moss, which I noticed many others don’t have! Plus this has two wingnuts instead of one – a huge flaw on the other ones I looked at. For the price I paid, the quality and sizing is perfect. Super light weight, so it’s an easy add to my current backpack. Definitely got my money's worth with this sluice box! Looking forward to adding more Sluice Fox to my collection.

This mini sluice is a good size for travel/backpacking and came very quickly. However, it came obviously already having been used and slightly damaged. It is possible that the description said "used" or something to that effect, but if it did, I do not remember seeing it.

My order arrived 3 days early! What I didn’t like was a a dent during delivery. But I figure it’s going to get a few more dents through the years LOL! Can’t wait to try it! Make sure you watch the video because there are no directions that come with it.

I used this last weekend in Edmonton Alberta at gold bar park and it works beautiful if your just looking for small amounts. But I will be upgrading and donating. Paying it forward to someone to let them try this one out totally worth the money because the rush and the gold fever is real

The top metal screen was really badly bent when it arrived. We tried using it but it does seem like we are going to have to try to straighten it somehow before using it again because it does affect the preformance unfortunately. Pretty disappointed 😞
