Most redneck sluice ever!

[Boarteats]

Decided to try my hand at making s simple sluice box. Had to be cheap and easy to modify. Works surprisingly well for what it is.

Scrap wood for box. Old bilge pump for water recirculation. Aluminum air duct grates for riffles. Duct tape and glue to hold riffles together. Nylon rope and clamps for tight fit. Rubber map that’s used to stop rugs from sliding.

Here isn’t my rednecked rig.
Was working the cons today and my pump died.
Two sluices laying on top of Eachother.
Held up with a old portable cot frame, cut garden hose for water supply lines lol!
Oh yea a bucket with holes cut in it for a water supply.

Over all, that's some mighty fine redneck engineering!

Roflmao!
1. At work, but they were going to toss the cot when I thought about
It as a frame
I used a hole bit and drilled the holes in the bucket
Hose was already dead under the lemon tree lol.
Duct tape might have helped reduce the backflow at first..
Didn’t have it handy.. epic fail!
Next time will have to angle it more lot of sands backed up.

Hey y'all, hold my beer and watch this!

Here’s my candidate. Made it out of very thin sheet metal. First attempt to make a sluice. Flimsy, but it catches some color.

 

[Boarteats]

Not bad at all!

 

[AimSmMissSm]

Not mine but fits the Redneck build.
