Ez Sluice (tee dee sluice) PICS

[oidium45]

Hello everyone,
I just received my EZ sluice and since it was so difficult to find some closeup photos online when researching,... I decided to post a few here for anyone else interested. I will be making some removable bars to place across the sluice as seen on many other plastic sluice box's so that I have a place to put rocks for weight without causing stress or damage to the plastic. I will add photos of them as well when finished.

Careful with those plastic riffles I've seen them break.

If they break, it will give me an opportunity to make them out of aluminum.

Best of luck with your new sluice... Looking forward to seeing some color in it!

Appreciate the attempt :-P I am looking forward to seeing some color in it as well. It may not be top notch but it beats panning everything and was inexpensive enough and light enough to justify to myself for the moment. I haven't given up on the idea of fluid bed or grizzly. It just isn't in the budget just yet.

That looks like a pretty cool sluice. I like that deep V matting, I have been using it in my regular sluice for some time now.

other than the le trap. the TEE DEE may be one of the first plastic sluices with molded in riffles " deep V" They also have an up angle built in.

I had one for years. I lost the flare of the top of a vehicle driving through the Yukon once. Sold the box before I left Alaska that year.

Seeing that its a Jobe product and I'm a dealer I guess I'll get a few in the store.

Probably a good little sluice to use for rentals.

You can pull the moss and riffles and run it lower flow also.

I think the EZ sluice works well and am excited you found a sluice that fits your needs - no other meaning. There are lots of good products out there - pans, sluices, highbankers, etc. that capture gold and are fun to use. Honestly, you will do well with the EZ sluice and it will be fun to watch the colors appear as it works -its a good product.

I didn't realize looking the riffles were molded, I thought that was a matt. How does cleanup work?

Looks pretty easy but I will not find out until this upcoming weekend.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking to get a sluice and I look forward to hearing what you think of this one after putting it to use.

 

[Arachnofreak]

Thanks, looks cool and that satisfied my curiosity. Don't think I will ever use one though, I like my old sluice

I like my EZ for backpacking, low-flow streams, and recirculating setup like here.

Hahaha, I literally laughed when I saw your pic. Looks effective!

 

[Arachnofreak]

That looks super cool! I have one that functions similar to yours but I like the way yours looks.

I've got one of those. The first thing you need to do is ditch the miners moss it is too thick and doesn't let the first two work riffles properly put some carpet in it instead. It will run 100% better. While you have the riffles out, file the tabs that hold them in at an angle this helps to release them for a clean-up. and put another bolt in the center of the flair I found it flexes with just two it messes up the water flow. I'm not knocking it I like mine for quick prospecting in a new area. One of my friends uses it when he visits and loves it. I can't leave things alone if you do those things to it you'll enjoy it a lot more.

Funny you mention that. I was already planning on sanding down the tabs on the riffles after the first use. Seemed like the way to go! As far as a third screw in the flair, I added washers and tightened the hell out of the thumbscrews. It seems to hold pretty well and so far I like having the ability to be able to flex it just a bit to increase water flow. I may hate it later.. Just my 2 cents after one run... As far as the moss, I was actually considering some of the gold hog EPDM Rubber Mats or something similar.

Being able to flex it a bit is nice on occasion, I thought about switching out the moss but it works just fine the way it was designed, you just need to clean the moss out every time you stop running material or it will continue grabbing flow sand if it's just sitting in the river and clog up. Run a bucket or 2 then clean up by dumping the whole sluice in a bucket of water and just splash the mm clean. You don't need to take the mm out every time, just watch it and clean it when it starts to look full.

Mine boomed right up with the moss it seemed to be extra thick and was packed tight up under the riffles. Kept blowing gold out of the end I tried everything to make it run right ended up changing out the moss like night and day.
