Jennifer Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Wow, this is gorgeous, my Heckler Fabrication trommel has a 24" sluice, I sent the boys an email asking if they could build one in 24 not 36, would be great in this water tight area I'm in... I am TOTALLY getting this...... I was going to run my modified clarkson's but this is a GREAT combo... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Nice sluice, but just a little to big for the creeks around my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Prospector Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Pat and Mark are always trying to come up with a better "mouse trap" to catch the gold. Some ideas have worked out quite well, a few not so much........just the nature of engineering and fabrication I guess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 It looks nice but you need a lot of flow to use, and 3 men and boy shoveling all day long. If it was to be used with an excavator, it would only last a couple of weeks at best, the rocks would wear out that Aluminum in no time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
