You need to watch the How to build a sluice Box Show !!!! it's Show # 4
Build your own Sluice Box then go out on your own adventure and get some gold!
Join us as we head out to a desert creek that only runs a short time during the winter, perfect for using the sluice box we made.
DVD is an extended version that also includes step-by-step explaination of exactly how to build a nice sluice box for around $50.00. Printable plans are included on the DVD as well in pdf format.
Good Luck
Jeff

find someone close to your location that has a sluice or go to a supply store and take a few measurements. Or just check out youtube or manufactures sites and wing-it. I've seen a lot of ugly sluice boxes and they all seem to work good enough until you can buy a well built sluice. The best advice I could give you is...just try it.

Hey, That's right. There are many ways to build a sluice and you can make it however you like. Many people have built them their own way they think is best....hmmm I guess that is why there are so many to choose from. It is a piece of equipment that has been around a long time and people are always coming up with variations as new materials and manufacturing methods are developed. The newest thing to hit the market that I have seen is these plastic mold injection inserts (or vacuum mold) that you can fit in to a box. They are interchangeable. Check out Angus MacKirk product line for some of this. KEENE has a new Sluice out called "Keene Super Concentrator". Works great for recovering ultra fine gold. But again, you can always build your own with some simple materials at Home Depot, Lowes, ACE... The DVD on How to Build a Sluice makes a sluice that Tim the inventor of "Snappy Grip" builds with you. He is pretty sharp and his sluice design is too.
