Make a Gold Catching Sluice Box. Build your own sluice, get better gold recovery

A sluice box is a very useful tool you can make for yourself or you can improve one that you already own. A sluice is often the second piece of equipment after a pan - it was for me. You can process perhaps 10 to 20 times as much gravel with a sluice that you can with a pan in the same time. They are super easy to use once they have been set up properly just feed the gravel in at a reasonable rate and the water flowing through the sluice does the work for you. Run correctly they work very well to capture both large and fine sized gold. We will go thoroughly over how they work and how to operate them. Understanding how they work is key to good design and building a good sluice for yourself - or customizing one.
