Well, any of the popular sluices will catch the gold if run properly. Each one has it's fans for good reason.

That said, by eliminating the need to classify, making clean outs a one minute process and being more flexible about how it is set in the creek (less finicky), the Bazookas are more productive. You will process more dirt and catch more gold than virtually any other non-motorized approach to gold catching. That's why it's becoming so popular IMO.

Wow. That answered a lot of questions I had. Does the bazooka have any add-on parts such as a highbanker?
If I am looking to have high-production, long length, what is comparable to the Keene A52

The highbanker conversion kit was on display at the recent mining show in northern CA but they have yet to put it on sale...soon I guess!

For a production sluice for one person I'd suggest a 36" Prospector. Personally I have the 30" version and that's fine too but...

Nobody has seen the highbanker conversion for the bazooka even at the show. At the moment its a myth.

I heard otherwise but wasn't there so I can't be sure.
