My sluice:hot:

[bonsaiboy123]

I know this is in the wrong section, well there is no gold section. Anyway, i bought the supplies yesterday and spent $21 on the nails and the 5 pieces of wood. I spent about 2 1/2 hours on it. While a small sluice is about $80 I spent $21 and 2 1/2 hours on this one! She is 24" long. I know she's not the prettiest thing, I'm gonna paint her black tonight which makes it easier to see the gold. I'll post those pics on here when i get it done. The two sticks that protrude at either end are for putting rocks on and keeping her down. It's my first attempt at making anything like this so please dont say anything bad about it, but you can tell me if you think I should change anything on it. I'll put it in the back of the car and keep it there and use it whenever I see a spot that looks like it could hold some gold. Thanks for taking a look at this.
Peace

The three bars on the right are for breaking up rock clods etc.

That's a nice piece of craftsmanship. Hope it pays you back. Were are you looking for gold, Cali?

It looks good to me. Great job! You might look into a marine finish for your paint. Now go get some gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need a mat under the riffles to catch the fine gold or it will just run out the sluice.
