I just got an Angus MacKirk Outback sluice for Christmas and I can't Wait for spring so I can try it out. It Should prove successful. I wanted it because it is small enough to fit into a backpack but yet big enough to run a decent amount of material. When I had first seen an Angus MacKirk sluice a couple of years ago for the first time I had my doubts about them, but then I have seen several different models in action and I was nothing but impressed, I needed to get one. I like the ease of set up and clean up, this will be great for me for testing and when I want to move fast. It captures big gold and the finest of gold as well. I will let you all know how it goes.
