From first pan to final flake, this 10pc gold prospecting kit from ASR Outdoor gives you the edge you need to find gold in the wild; just add paydirt and water. With both the 50 Inch Folding Aluminum Sluice Box and two single riffle gold pans included, this gold prospecting kit allows for BOTH river sluicing and gold panning in one convenient kit.
The backbone of this kit is the 50 Inch Folding Sluice Box that features a three piece folding design and a 50 inch gravity fed channel, together creating this high yield collection tool. The body of the sluice box is made of rust resistant aluminum, allowing for use through many gold prospecting seasons to come. The sluice riffles feature unibody construction, the riffles are precision laser cut from a single piece of 18 gauge steel, and then formed into ultralight, sturdy steel riffles; these are then zinc plated for long rust free service. In addition, the gold prospecting sluice box is easily portable, folding down in size by simply loosening the connecting wing nuts. The sluice box body is designed to lock rigidly in place when the sluice is unfolded; this takes care of the most common complaint about some models that often fold up when you tried to pick them up out of the stream. What makes this unit different and extra handy is the ability to fold up to just 15 inches tall by 12 inches wide, easily fitting into a backpack or 5 gallon bucket. You can backpack this folding sluice into remote areas anywhere. Sluice box carry strap is removable and adjustable, extending to 54 inches so that it can be used as either a hand carry strap or shoulder strap.
Classifier Screen: The unsung heroes of gold panning, and a non negotiable piece of gold prospecting equipment to have when panning, river sluicing or other. Helping to remove unwanted materials like rocks, gravels and other organic matter from paydirt, your chances of finding gold will be greatly improved by working with a finer paydirt that's not only much easier to pan, but will help you get to the good stuff where gold is hopefully hiding. Classifier screens are super durable, stackable and have been designed to fit on top of a 5 gallon bucket (not included).
Single Riffle Gold Pans: This kit includes two sizes, a 10 inch and a 14 inch. Single riffle pans allow for quicker washing off of lighter materials, are great for speed panning and also for sampling different spots at a gold claim. And, with fewer riffles in the way, single riffle pans can make it easier to spot gold as it settles, as there are less places for gold to hide in the pan, where as dual riffle pans can sometimes trap black sand or other heavier sediment, making it harder to recover fine gold flakes, flour or small gold nuggets from view.
Fine Gold Recovery Tools: Assorted fine gold recovery tools will help you to extract, examine and store found gold or other precious metals in the field
