So soooomebody didn't like their christmas present. I neeeeever find anything in the bargain cave. Not true, I find stuff that I can go downstairs and pay just a little be more for one in the box. They wanted freak'n $0.14/rnd for 22lr so I head up and take a look. Reloading station for more than it was just on sale. What's that, plain brown box?! Angus? A sluice? The Recon, marked to $50. Ok, let me check this out.

New in box, even with instructions. Surf for prices. Marked down from $74. That can't be right, they never have that big a deal in here. Let me think about it.

Walk around the room, fondle the bows and big bores, I really need to get one of those, then start walking back to the spot where the Recon was and it's gone.... nnnnnnnnoooooooooooo!!!!!..... Just kidding... as I headed over I looked up and there was a LARGE plain brown box. NNNNoooo, THAT can't be another one. Yep the freak'n Boss marked down to $80something. Wait, what? Same deal, open the box and find instructions and unmolested sluice. Online shows it was $140 at cabelas.

Just a few weeks before I went to the local store to grab a letrap and they were out. Something about christmas shoppers.

Anyway, what do you do? Wait for the Letrap, choose between the boss and recon? Huh? HOW!? Why?
 

Nothing wrong with the AM sluices, they catch barely visible gold with some pieces I have to use a 10X loop just to make sure.
 

I would have bought both without thinking twice.... even if I didnt need them I could sell them for a profit.

Yeah, admittedly there was no second thoughts on taking both home. :evil6:
 

No reason to wait for a Le Trap. That Boss will do at least as well and is easier to set up in the stream due to being more rigid...get it!
 

At those prices I'd say get both!

There was a letrap at the AZ gold show for $90. It was the only one and when I picked it up, it wiggled like a fat lady in the mud chasing donuts.

I'm still curious to run after another so I will keep an eye open.
