Gold Sluice Boxes for Prospecting - Water Powered - Gold ...
The idea is to position a sluice box in a running stream so that the water does the work-- separating the dirt and rocks away from the gold. Since gold is heavy, it will stay in the bottom of the sluice, trapped in the miner's moss. A good rule of thumb is to set your sluice at a grade of one inch per foot of drop.
