One Sluice Box, Endless Possibilities
Why buy separate pieces of gear for every trip? This 6" x 42" sluice box isn't just a standalone tool; it's the starting point for your perfect gold recovery machine.

Select from three professionally configured kits, all built on the same high-performance 6" x 42" Double Mat Sluice foundation
1. The "Fold Sluice" Kit (Ultimate Creek Setup)
Designed for the prospector on the move, this kit is the ultimate backpacking and scouting setup. It combines the 42" high-efficiency sluice with a folding extension for maximum recovery and portability.
What's Included:
-
6" x 42" Double Mat Sluice: The core 42-inch sluice body, featuring the 6" x 16" Micro-Dredge Mat and the 6" x 16" Mini-Dredge Mat.
-
Sluice Box Flared Header: A 12" wide detachable flare that easily attaches to capture more water, ensuring proper flow even in slow-moving streams.

6" Folding Sluice Bottom: A 16" folding extension with an integrated Mini Dredge Mat. This adds a third recovery stage for black sands and folds up to fit in a pack.
2. The "Clean Up Kit" (Power Recirculator)
Turn your concentrates into clean gold with this all-in-one cleanup machine. This kit transforms the 42" sluice into a free-standing, recirculating power sluice, perfect for running cons at home, in camp, or in your garage.
What's Included:
-
6" x 42" Double Mat Sluice: The core 42-inch sluice body with the Micro-Dredge / Mini-Dredge mat combination for ultimate cleanup efficiency.

6" Folding Sluice Bottom: Adds a 16" extension with a Mini Dredge Mat to ensure no fine gold escapes your cleanup run.
3. The "Highbanker Kit" (Complete Production System)
This is the complete gold mining machine. This kit turns your 42" sluice into a true highbanker, allowing you to process unclassified bank-run material efficiently. Move more dirt and find more gold.
What's Included:
-
6" x 42" Double Mat Sluice: The core 42-inch sluice body, providing two stages of recovery with the Micro-Dredge and Mini-Dredge mats.

18" Leg Kit: The essential frame to hold your highbanker at the optimal angle for running material in the field.

This is the ultimate high-performance setup for serious prospectors. This combination is engineered for highbanker operations and high-flow environments, allowing you to sluice and then finish sluice in one package.
-
Micro-Dredge Mat: Features over 2x the holding capacity and a super-fast vortex for processing material at higher feed rates. Perfect as an indicator and finishing mat.
-
Mini-Dredge Mat: Designed to handle heavy loads and higher flow rates, allowing you to run your equipment hard without sacrificing fine gold. Incredibly forgiving on pitch and flow.
-
Less Concentrates, More Gold: This dual-mat system results in a very small amount of concentrates to deal with, making your gold sluicing trips less work and more fun.
Additional Core Features:
-
Model: 6" x 42" Double Mat Long Sluice Body
