Info on 5 inch Keene

[Mgumby16]

Anybody know the origin of this box or any info on it. Supposedly it's a Keene box for a conversion from a 5 inch triple to a 5 inch single. Just looks different then most of keenes boxes.

Looks like a basic Keene 5" triple center box that was tweaked into a single box

The box is definitely not a modified center sluice from the triple given that I have the center box from the triple set aside separately.

Plus it doesn't match what the center triple box looks like at all Also it has bent over upper edges while the triple center has no bent over upper edges.


What dredge of keenes is this because the box on it appears to match my exactly.

Need the dimensions, if it's 20" wide then it is for a 5" or 6" mini, 24" which is what it looks like then it's a standard 6" heavy duty. Either way it's a nice sluice box.

It's 20" by about 60". So an older 5 inch mini I would suspect. It's funny cause my buddies 6 inch three stage box is a good foot shorter.

Thanks for the info.
