Brawn mini stream sluices

[Capt Nemo]

Picked up a pair of the Brawn mini stream sluices for dirt at Cabela's yesterday. Any idea on how well they work? I'm looking at using these for prospecting the meltwater streams where I can't run a GGT Explorer, or enough water depth to easily pan.

Maybe partially dam up some of the stream to get enough water flow.

Flow wouldn't be the problem, as the water is dropping 1000'+ per mile, but only 2" deep. I'm mainly looking at these for sampling, as you have to clean these out after every bucket.

Have a picture of the sluice?

I don't have a pic right now, but they're the molded plastic ones about 4" wide and 18" long.

did Brawn go out of business, cannot find their website anymore? Always wanted to try the shorter of their no classify sluices.

Search google for trappergord. Go to shop online and type in brawn sluice in that sites search and there you go. The only catch is they are in Canada so it may be brawn is out of business here in the states. I also saw that Cabela's has a brawn highbanker in their bargain cave.

I bought a brawn highbanker few years back (ironicly in the bargain cave at Cabelas). I was less than thrilled with the performance and quickly got rid of it.
