It looks like it would work good when screened.  Light and portable.

I like plastic sluices from Europe.  I learned about these molded blue sluices from Sweden when I was a kid.

I know they haven’t been made for a while but they work great for fine gold.

Looking at the XP sluice, it does bear a resemblance to my original Supersluice. Then again since I designed and created the Supersluice many have copied it and modified the design. The Supersluice was the first, stepped, drop riffle sluice ever. Its still brilliant even now. I am at present designing an updated version which may make most other fibreglass or plastic sluices redundant. Watch this space. This was one of the original supersluices.
