Sluicing
Sluicing allows prospectors to process much more material than panning alone. A sluice box uses flowing water and riffles to trap gold particles while lighter material washes away.
- Setting up and positioning your sluice box
- Classifying and feeding material for best results
- Cleaning out the sluice and recovering fine gold
- Environmental considerations and responsible use
Sluicing is ideal for working productive gravel bars and can dramatically increase your gold recovery rate.
