6" x 24" Trek Gold Sluice Box: Dredge Edition
Featuring the Mini-Dredge & Micro-Dredge Dream Mat Combo
Revolutionize your recovery with the next generation of the legendary Trek sluice box. Now featuring our advanced "Dredge Edition" matting, this setup is engineered for miners who demand higher throughput without sacrificing the fine gold that traditional systems leave behind.
By combining the high-volume processing of the Mini-Dredge Dream Mat with the precision recovery of the Micro-Dredge Dream Mat, this kit transforms your backpack portable sluice into a high-performance gold mining powerhouse.
Key Features & Performance Upgrades
- The Ultimate Dredge Combo: Includes 16 inches of the high-flow Mini-Dredge mat paired with 16 inches of the ultra-sensitive Micro-Dredge mat for a total recovery surface optimized for both volume and fine-gold retention.
- Next-Gen Vortex Technology: Both mats utilize our proven low-energy vortex cells. The 2025 Micro-Dredge profile features an increased vortex spin rate, using hydro-cyclone power to ensure material is processed instantly.
- Enhanced Holding Capacity: The new Micro-Dredge profile boasts over 2x the gold-holding capacity of previous designs, allowing for longer runs between cleanouts even in heavy black sands.
- Forgiving & Versatile: Specifically designed for gold prospecting enthusiasts using a highbanker or high-flow stream setups; these mats are incredibly forgiving regarding pitch and water flow.
- Rugged Portability: The 16-gauge aluminum frame is lightweight enough for deep wilderness exploration while remaining durable enough to withstand years of hard use.

Why Choose the Dredge Edition?
In the world of gold prospecting, your success depends on your equipment's ability to handle "the heavies." The Mini-Dredge mat acts as your primary workhorse, handling increased feed rates and heavy material loads. As the slurry moves down the sluice box, the Micro-Dredge mat acts as a high-precision indicator and finisher, capturing the microscopic "flour gold" with surgical efficiency.
