I apologize if I am overstepping here.. But Does anyone know who manufactured the Tee Dee or Ez sluice? And if so, How to contact them more directly?

Thanks man. But a google search seemed to result in nada...
Do they exist as a co? Or just a PO box thing...?

Contact Tee Dee Cacti and Prospecting on EBay. I think he's the one who manufactures them. Good it and the Ebay link to his site should show up. From there you can send him a message into his mail box and ask him if he's the manufacturer.

No response yet but I did end up buying one from a third party seller. The price was about average so no biggie. I did find one post of someone claiming that they thought that "tee dee sluice" had been sold to "Jobe" and an image of a "Jobe ez sluice" but this day that means squat for substantiating rumors.

May I ask what place you ended up buying one from, I'd like to get one too!

I ended up buying through gold fever prospecting. Most of the places selling this sluice are within a few dollars of each other but when I called 5 different sellers looking for a shipping quite, they were the only ones that answered the phone. Hence, they got my business. They seemed friendly enough and even though they claimed that they only offered shipping through UPS the person on the phone offered at the last minute to double check USPS for pricing and go with the cheaper option. Also, even though I called 30 minutes before they were going home, they said that they would definitely be shipping the item tomorrow which isn't half bad. The sales rep said that they are more than willing to combine shipping for multiple items as well but recommended placing orders for multiple items by phone to ensure the cost was calculated correctly.

Sorry if that was a bit much info. The beers are going down smoothly tonight

Thing looks a little small, speaking of which check out this 3 inch by 12 inch desktop sluice

Yes, it is pretty small. Still the biggest sluice Ive owned
I would not want to hike with a 60LB pack and a 6ft sluice on a 12-20 mile round trip hike unless I knew that there was some serious nuggets up there. Speaking of small Prospector70, This is pretty cool.

If the sluice includes the pictured flare, etc. and you got the sales price ($48.95) you got a great deal according to what I have seen.

Good luck with it.

Thanks, Sadly, the flare was $15 extra. But for $15 I knew that if I did not buy it that I would later regret the decision.

I've got one of the old TeeDee's, you can't beat it for packing in and sampling a low flow stream. I bought it when they first switched to the plastic.

its the perfect size for classifying and trowel feeding..

You know what most people waste their time doing with A52's also

They are nice usable little sluices. Easy clean out. You can run crevice material with little classification.

I know it will be dependent upon flow but would you recommend under most circumstances going below 1/2" classification? Say, maybe 1/4"?

 

[Goldwasher]

nope. That will just slow you down

If anyone was curious...
