Remember You Heard It Here First

[Jeff McClendon]

Having a lightweight, easily backpack-able plastic mini-sluice for sampling in high altitude areas is definitely a plus especially when they weigh less than a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Anything more than that type of use is asking a lot of a small plastic sluice especially in faster moving water. Paying more than $50 to $75 for one ( I don't know the price for XP's) is not worth it. XP's has to cost more than that backpack in the photos. 

I am going to stick with my pink "Le Trap" knock off ($45), my Gold Hog Flow Pan, small finishing pan and a 2.5 gallon bucket, my pick, plastic scoops and Equinox for those 9,000+ ft places I seem to be attracted to.

The device (sluice) in pic above is not available in USA.  According to Xp’s site they are making one for the USA market.
