Royal miller table and Deep V groove mat. 4956 7
Started by 33oneworld@gmail.com
I run a homemade double sluice with deep groove and shallow groove mats. I have found alot of dust and specks. Seems to be easier to pan and find gold the sluice is at 4 degrees with gentle water flow but clean outs not so good. I repanned some and still gold not being caught by the sluice. So i ordered the Royal table. Should i just bite the bullet and get gold hog mats Any thoughts or experience on water tables and mats Thank you Andy

Empty mats 1932 3

How many gph of water do you need to catch flour gold with a 10' wide sluice with a vortex type mat. I've tried 5-7° with terrible results. I was told I need to run it between 11° -17° but that just seems way to steep for such microscopic gold to have time to drop out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Clean up sluice 2604 4
Started by bendersemail@yahoo.com
Just curious of what clean up sluice people prefer. Yes I understand & know everyone has there options, but would like to hear true justifications, love or hate. I currently have a Miller table, blue bowl and keene miracle mat sluice, but have since started eyeing a 4 tray gold cube with dream mat, micro/ mini & D mat. I’ve got more stream sluices than 1) man should own, (I.e. sluice with Talon Gold Hog, another with Yukon Gold Hog, sluice with Dream Mat, Keene A52, so on & so on). Any insight...

Best travel sluice 2631 3
Started by totalappliance@frontier.com
Hello everyone, I'm a new member with some panning experience but would like to speed up my concentrate making. I travel frequently around the US with my job, almost always on a plane. So I'm looking for a sluice that I can pack in my bag so I can be more productive with the time I have available. I plan on finish panning at home but would like to get a higher production.

California River Sluice 2616 2
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
Just picked up one of these, and wondering on initial setup, as to water depth and how much drop on a 40' box. I realize that to some extent water depth is dependent on speed of flow, and how much drop to have material make the trip through. Going to give it a try next time I'm out.

Stream sluice? 4735 6
Started by y.jaron@gmail.com
Hi I’m new to running a stream sluice and was wondering if you need to worry about blowing out your box if you leave it in the water while you go for 15 mins or so to dig and classify more material. Or should I stockpile a lot of classified material ahead of time and run all at once then clean out. Does anyone have any advice Specifically I have a Keene A52. Thanks

Building a Sluice Stand 3135 1
Started by goldcrazy2@gmail.com
Has anybody seen a good Step-By-Step 'How-To' video or article on making a stand for Tom and Perry's Clean-Up Sluice The video that comes with the sluice doesn't show how they made the pvc stand and I'm not very good at working with pvc when it comes to allowing for the extra length for the joints when you put it together. The videos I've seen so far are either poorly made or don't explain what the are doing clearly enough, or the articles and drawings don't make sense. I could also use ...

What sluice do you use? 105987 82
Started by matt@rtmdesigns.com
If you are like me you probably have more than a single sluice... I have Angus MacKirks, Bazooka's, Keene's, and a myriad of homebuilt. After all said and done for varying conditions it seems like I always fall back to the keene a52... don't know why but I do... I guess its my favorite. I like the A.M.'s but I don't like that water changes can easily cause it to blow out...
What's your favorite

News update concerning Gold Well Sluice. The Gold Well is be made again in all sizes. Bernie Makowski has found manufacturing and sales. I’m told the Gold Well Sluice is a fine piece of equipment in fine gold recovery. The Gold Well Sluice Facebook page seems to have quite a following especially in the AZ area. I’m hoping to get feed back on this gold mining Gold Well Vortex Drop Riffle Sluice.
