Highbanker, Gold Sluices and Power Sluice Kits - Gold Mining Equipment (6" Mini Power Sluice Kit + Mini Dream Mat)

Sluice box itself is very well made. Header box is well made but not a good fit to sluice(took quite a bit of fitting). The dream mat fits great and is very secure. It also works fantastic for fine gold. Pump is nice and has more than enough output flow. I would suggest a speed controller for pump. Many can be found on Amazon under 20 bucks.

Unable to provide a good review yet - I purcahsed this for my father and there are no instructions to assemble it. It came in a box with all the pieces but no literature. Does anyone have instructions they can provide or no how to assemble it so he can finally use it?

I did not have to assemble this...yippee! Plus a scale came with the mining sluice. Heading out soon for prospecting. Would like to see some literature included about sluicing for gold.

Good little sluice. The only issue I found was that the header box was not necked down to fit in the sluice. I had to trim some metal and bend it a bit to make it fit. Once it was in place I hooked up the pump that you need to crimp the clamps to the wires. Once it is lol hooded up and the angle set it runs very smoothly and the mat is nice and snug to prevent material from getting under the mat.

The media could not be loaded. Love it..

Unit is extremely cheap and poorly machined. Sharp edges that if you rub wrong will cut you. The legs on the unit are angled so you can't really even get a bucket under the output end of it. The way that the legs are very unstable. They give you rubber hose clamps and a plastic hose so it doesn't seal neatly when you tighten it down. However, the reason I gave it 2 Stars is the water pump is good and pumps a reasonable amount of water per hour. No instructions or product manuals come with unit, just a very generic how to put it together piece of paper. Wish I had spent a little more and gone with a better unit.

Super disappointed. Waited anxiously for the package seen it was delivered i threw it in the car and raced to the mountains. Big mistake the holes that hold it together did not match up. The metal peice that holds the matt in place was bent making for lost materials. The dream mat was great....however the metal manufacturer was no good. Welds look like they were done by a child...very weak and sharp edges....

So far I think this is a good product but I think the pump is too fast and needs to be slowed down. Can't see a way to slow it down so may need to add something to dial it back.I've run about 20-30 pans of classified dirt through it and I get more black sand from hand panning than I do with this high banker and I think it's because the water is too powerful/fast. Maybe it's the angle and I need to make it more shallow but I find I'm catching more black sand and garnet in a hand pan than this.I'll continue and update if I make better progress with angles but winter is coming fast so I may have to update next year.
