@sambass951 yeah metal would be better. this sluice definetly works better in an environment where there is lots of smaller gravel to do your set up. the big boulders are awkward with this sluice because it flexes out of shape
I have only tryed mine out once, It is high quality plastic and silicone rubber. but it is also pretty flimsy. The pins do get bent and it seems like they could of done a much better job with the product design. It has the feel of an american made product but i am not certain. I cannot wait to get out again and use it though. It was definitely worth the 110$ including tax.
@101keene =))) I have a mini A51 Keene for backpacking, and a military camo bag that completely covers it even with the water scoop on. Replaced my carpet with some of the best miners moss out there, and love it! Tell uncle GJ! I almost bought this one instead of my mini. I plan on prospecting during storms that create steams not normally there on a placer claim. I'd much rather take material home, but in a storm sounds funner!
The ripple design is cool and looks very efficient. The apparatus itself well, the bits and pieces I can already understand what will happen out in the field. Inovation is good but I can't see this being practical at all, except to those who like toys that they use once and give up.
good idea but it looks to me that the hinge pins will either get lsot or bent then wont fit in all the way. but hey theres always new ideas to make things better. keep up the good work

Nice . Looks flimsy though. Is it? Looks like it twists and don't say flat.
