4X16 Micro-Dredge Adventure No Flare Sluice Box - Dream Mat | Gold Prospecting Equipment
Meet the new standard in portable gold prospecting. We’ve combined our versatile, packable 4" x 16" Adventure No-Flare Sluice Box with the revolutionary recovery power of the new Micro-Dredge Dream Mat. This compact setup is engineered for the prospector on the move, fitting easily into a backpack, saddlebag, or glove box while delivering recovery performance that rivals much larger equipment.
Featuring the Micro-Dredge Dream Mat
The heart of this sluice box is the 4" Micro-Dredge Mat, designed for maximum gold recovery and high-efficiency processing. This mat transforms the Adventure Sluice into an aggressive prospecting and finishing tool.
Faster Feed Rates: Confidently process more material. The Micro-Dredge profile is designed to handle increased feed rates, allowing you to move through concentrates or bank-run material faster without sacrificing recovery.
Increased Holding Capacity: The new cell profile boasts over 2x the holding capacity for gold compared to previous designs, locking in your find.
Advanced Vortex Action: Witness the hydro-cyclone power in action. The vortex cells spin material so fast that we had to slow them down. This intense action processes your material for maximum recovery, locking fine gold deep in the mat while efficiently ejecting waste.
Adventure-Ready Portability & Versatility
This isn't just a sluice; it's essential gold mining gear. The 4" wide "No Flare" straight-channel design makes it the perfect component for your custom setup.
Compact & Lightweight: Weighing only 1.4 lbs and measuring 16 inches long, it’s the ideal companion for backpacking, trekking, e-biking, and backcountry adventures.
DIY Ready: The straight 4" channel is perfect for building your own DIY header box. Easily transform this sluice into a high-efficiency 3-stage cleanup system or a micro highbanker.
Modular Fit: Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Adventure sluice header kit, The Boss Sluice, and the Micro Banker.
Specifications
Dimensions: 16" Long x 4" Wide
Weight: 1.4 lbs
Mat: 4" x 16" Micro-Dredge Dream Mat
Note: The tight, complex profile of the Micro-Dredge Mat may have small air bubbles, and color fading may occur in the urethane. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the mat's superior performance or longevity in any way.
