8" Modular Gold Sluice

Introducing the Gold Rat Modular Gold Sluice Series

This Modular Gold Sluice is designed for prospectors who want an affordable and expandable gold recovery system. Start small and upgrade as your interest in gold prospecting grows.

Featuring a removable flare, this sluice efficiently channels water into the recovery system and provides a slick plate area for depositing gold-bearing material.

The 8-inch width refers to the size of the recovery system, which utilizes Vortex Dream Mat®, one of the most efficient gold recovery matting systems available. Manufactured in-house at our Queensland facility, this sluice is built for performance and durability.
