Haven't really tried this other than with water hose. Does anyone have any suggestions. It weighs about 40 lbs

Hire a Sherpa to carry it?


I am curious, what are the dimensions of your sluice? 40lbs is ridiculously heavy for a steam sluice. My 42" x 7" sluice weighs about five pounds soaking wet. It is made of wood though.

8*40 but it's 3/8 in thick I know it has no need to be made out of that but it was originally a square light post
I welded the insert with the riffles but don't know if there the right angles but I'm ganna be using it here

This is a 6×24 sluice I use to process beach sand, one 48 oz. peanut butter jar full at a time.

You could use it to pry up railroad spikes or as a substitute guillotine blade. Its about thirty seven lbs heavier than I like to carry. Definitely go with thinner material on the next one.

Here is my home made sluice with 10" Dream Mat in it.

I haven't tested it out at all but its my first sluice so I'm sure it will be a million times better then hand panning everything which is what I have been doing.

If it's anything like the Keene Super Concentrator, you'll be stoked. I guess the key with the matts is fast, laminar flow. I've had mine five years and it always amazes me. I run my material twice, but it's hardly worth the second run:

1994.My first sluice, homemade with a piece of carpet for the mat. I found multiple Oz's with it. As far as I know it is still out in the desert, under the Bush we left it under instead of carrying it in and out. If somebody ever found it,I hope it was as good to them as it was for us !☺💰
