California Sluice Box Company is no longer in business. I called and talked to the owner little over a year ago. Facing some serious health concerns, he was shutting down and selling off his product line. I really felt bad for the guy and wished him well. Just so happens that a company called Wilson Brothers Prospecting (WBProspectingLLC.com) bought rights to the hand crank trommel and maybe a concentrator but I think thats it. The bucket concentrator is cheap and works well on my drywash cons. They should be at the Vegas gold show end of February.

That's sucks, the health issues and all. I hope they are alright.
I wanted the ABS hopper they had for a A52P, the price was great!

Running a business in California sucks. I opened my mining supply shop in 1974. I am seriously considering going internet only and closing the brick and mortar ( it really is brick and mortar). Tired of jumping threw hoops.

Saw on facebook that Jerry Butler from Black Sheep mining and a partner, will start taking orders for the Ca Sluicebox trommels

Davin, they have a new owner. He introduced himself last night in the chatroom on gold prospectors radio. Here is the link to his site.

I seem to remember it being about $350.00, in that range.

I hope they will start making these again.

Apparently they are making a good portion of Dales's old line pic from fb

Yes, I have the sluice, but not the hopper. I have even used it without classifying quite successfully.

I hope they will start making these again.

I bought two hand crank trommels and a sluice box from Dale at California Sluice and they are top notch products and Dale was a great guy to deal with. I am sorry he is having health problems and my prayers go out to him and his family. God be with you, Dale.
