Im after a sluice

Goldfreak welcome to the forum mate. Your spot on about the letrap its one of the few sluices i highly reccomend. I still have mine but as you say its a bit flimsy so doesnt come out to often. It does hold alot of material so i mainly used to use it for crushed rock which works perfectly plumbed into a 3700gph bikge pump. Nice job on the banker conversion mate

Then there is the Mckirk which gets good reviews products/337-eldorado-stream-sluice-medium-all-new.aspx

That is a copy of an Angus MacKirk sluice, with a similar design, does it have the "Abyss" ramp and trench riffles? I was running my Angus MacKirk Foreman II in a creek next to a guy with a yellow plastic(?) copy that he said was an original AMK, until I pointed out the differences. He was not happy and was less so when I sat my little Scout II under his sluice and we could see that his sluice was letting gold out. I ran three buckets that afternoon for zero results, just digging in the wrong spot, my my companion was on the gold (small) but loosing the fine stuff.

So, not all sluices are the same and a difference of six feet or so can put you on or in my case off the gold. I suggested he could rough up the surface of his sluice or glue in a bar of some sort at the bottom of a ramp. He offered me what was caught in the Scout II as my Foreman II was empty, I declined, he dug the gold, it was his.

Question for the fourm. Is anyone using a 'Goldsnare' 1" 12v mini hand dredge? They are a submersible unit run off a car battery, they look like a fancy crevacing tool (underwater vacuum cleaner).
