Here's a video describing how I have made a narrow river /. stream gold sluice. This gold sluice has been made with a combination of Vortex, Hi-Low & Gold Hog Razerback & Scrubber mats. The sluice is made of 2mm Aluminium which I had made & shaped at a local steel fabricators and the mats were off-cuts from someone else's sluice build, the other person had no use for them but they were the perfect size for what I wanted to make so the materials for this sluice haven't cost a lot at all.

This gold sluice has been specifically made narrower than most sluices because I already have a gold sluice for general working conditions, this gold hog matted gold sluice has been made specifically to run in narrow streams and burns, where a normal size/width sluice would not fit. I have previously made a similar rain gutter sluice using ribbed matting but that only seemed to trap the finest of material due to the matting used, so this time I figured I'd use tried and tested matting to ensure the gold sluice will stand the best chance of finding gold from the material as possible.

in the u.s. home depot has vinyl horse fense posts. they ar 6' square and ten feet long. They can be cut on one side to make a flume. the cross member holes need to be covered or that end just cut. They sturdy and easy to work with. Just an fyi for those doing a similar project. I use my for a clean up condentrator sluice it would do for a narrow stream sluice as well. i have razorback, bedrock 1.0 , scrubber and ur in it. Runs with an old above ground 110 volt pool pump

I liked the fact this was made specifically to me measurements including the tapering of the side walls all for just £10 ($15), some local steel fabricators are very cheap for little jobs like this
