Building A Recirculating Sluice Box For Gold Prospecting. One of my many hobbies is recreational gold prospecting. I started out just gold panning. Panning is lots of fun, but to find any serious gold, you need to process a lot of dirt. Doing that with only a gold pan is no fun at all. Any serious prospector eventually acquires a sluice box.

Could be a good possibility, depending on a used price from the local salvage yard. That's 2004 to 2009 model years I believe.
The Surface Dredge. As the heading ofthis section implies, surface dredge floats on the surface of the water. The material is pumped to the surface through a suction hose into an efficient sluice box that is capable of recovering extremely fine particles of fine gold. The sluice box can either rest on the bank, or float on the surface of the water.
The gold sluice box is an efficient alternative to panning for gold, allowing the prospector to quickly sift through a much greater volume of sediment. Although many affordable varieties are available to purchase, they are even more affordable to build. With a little knowledge, skill, and creativity, a prospector can build a custom sluice box from almost any type of solid material available.
Hydraulic mining is a form of mining that uses high-pressure jets of water to dislodge rock material or move sediment. In the placer mining of gold or tin, the resulting water-sediment slurry is directed through sluice boxes to remove the gold. It is also used in mining kaolin and coal.. Hydraulic mining developed from ancient Roman techniques that used water to excavate soft underground deposits.

Water was just not deep enough and strong enough to push material over the riffles with the battery operated pump. The battery had enough power to run a very small recirculating sluice, or the gold cube. Neither moved a lot of material. In my case, I gave up on water mostly because of all the muck it produced. Hope it works out for you.

It's still a gold sluice, but with a submerged slurry pump. Submerged slurry pump is under water, on the river bed. When it's working, the stir impeller mix water and sand, then pump the slurry up to gold sluice. It's much more convenience. This idea is from sand dredge. When miner need to move pump, a dredge is a good idea.
