    As we continue the series of back to basics prospecting, we look at how to use stream sluice. This episode we use two different stream sluices from Keene and Buckabilly
    Keene Super Mini Sluice Box: This is the lightest, most compact sluice box with all the features of a professional sluice! Absolutely ideal for small creeks and testing small placer deposits. Features a removable flare for easy backpacking. Dimensions: 6.5" x 11" x 33", $99.00 plus shipping
    Buckabilly Stream Sluice: 6.5" x 13" x 48", Discontinued

      rustynugget.r there was a proposal to change that in the water sustainability act being talked about in October 2018 to be included in the 2019 regulations. I havnt heard if that’s passed because I’m from Alberta.

      @@GunsHomebrew I have herd nothing about it. Shame. It has been proven time and time again , that sluicing and dredging not only increases the feed in the stream but cleans the silt from the gravel beds for better spawning . Sounds like a win win to me.

    Not setting up your sluice properly. The bottom end has to be out of the water and the water is moving much too fast. For that speed you should put the keen in your sluice and make a 7 footer, then the water speed is ok but that speed is washing some of your fines right back in the river. I have my 5 foot homemade sluice and my manufactured sluice and together they come to 9 feet, which can handle high speed water. But you have to get the ass end out of the water. 1/2 inch water coming in at the top. Not 2 inches and then watch the ribs with a couple test pans to make sure the material is building up under your first 2 ribs evenly across the sluice. Im 57 and been prospecting since i was 4 with my dad and finding gold on my own when i was 10. I hope this helps.
