8" x 24" Combo Dream Mat | High-Capacity Gold Prospecting Sluice Mat
Optimize your gold mining experience with this high-efficiency addition to your gold sluice box. Designed specifically for highbankers, custom sluice boxes, and serious prospectors, the 8" x 24" Combo Dream Mat features an innovative two-stage recovery system that ensures your gold is securely captured. By combining two distinct cell profiles into a single continuous run, these high-capacity mats capture fine flour gold while effortlessly handling heavy material loads—leaving you with significantly fewer concentrates to clean up.
Available in two distinct, field-tested configurations to perfectly match your water flow and material conditions.
Choose Your Configuration Variant:
Variant 1: Micro / Micro-Dredge Combo
Built for ultimate precision fine gold capture, high-velocity vortex separation, and increased holding capacity.
Stage 1: Micro Profile (2nd Gen): An outstanding fine gold recovery section that acts as a highly visible indicator mat. It allows you to visually confirm your finds in real time without the gold migration issues common with other ribbed mats, performing flawlessly in high, steep, or low-flow scenarios.
Stage 2: Micro-Dredge Profile: Features a tight, hyper-efficient profile with over 2x the holding capacity of traditional mat designs. Its high-speed vortex cells utilize dynamic hydro-cyclone power to handle increased feed rates, spinning out light waste material and locking down fine gold instantly.
Best For: Fast feed rates, precision finishing, maximum yardage, and operations where fine gold retention and instant visual confirmation are the top priorities.
Variant 2: Micro / Cape-D Combo
The ultimate setup for heavy black sands, fine gold precision, and extreme concentrate reduction.
Stage 1: Micro Profile (2nd Gen): Engineered for exceptional fine gold recovery, this section lets you spot your gold early while capturing microscopic flakes with precision and efficiency.
Stage 2: Cape-D Profile (New High/Low Version): Engineered specifically for heavy black sand conditions and slower water velocities. This profile expertly separates fine gold from dense, heavy matrices, ensuring maximum efficiency in gold capture so nothing slips by.
Best For: Heavy black sand areas, slower water setups, dedicated high-banking fine gold recovery, and drastic concentrate reduction.
Key Features & Specifications:
Advanced 2-Stage Recovery: No single cell profile does everything. By combining two specialized profiles across an 8" width, these mats handle everything from microscopic flour gold to chunkier nuggets in a single run.
Gold-Tested & Proven: Developed directly from real-world prospector feedback and trusted by the Dream Mat user group for unmatched reliability.
Durable Polyurethane Construction: Built to withstand highly abrasive rocks, gravels, and heavy black sands season after season.
True-Fit Dimensions: Fits standard 8" wide sluice channels. Actual dimensions are approximately 8" wide x 23.5" long.
Please Note:
Mounting: Sluice clamp is sold separately.
Color: While the physical color of your polyurethane mat may vary based on production runs, its exceptional gold recovery performance never will.
Profile Note: The tight, complex cell structures of the Micro and Micro-Dredge sections may occasionally feature minor cosmetic air bubbles or surface imperfections from the molding process. These do not hinder the mat's functionality or fluid dynamics in any way.
