Wolf Trap Mining Sluices
Redesigned For Back Packing This is for a FOLDING - TAKE DOWN - SLUICE BOX With an Adjustable Speed Riffle +++ All Bidders Well Be Given A Second Chance Offer +++ This auction is for a single long sluice box. You will be getting one of the finest Sluice boxes made today. You will also find that it contains one of my famous FLIPPING RIFFLE which is just the ticket for those changing water conditions you always find. We make the only riffle on the market today that can be Quickly Changed for whatever water conditions you run into. Why You Need A Wolf Trap Now take one of my Wolf Trap Sluice Boxes. Now that the gold has dropped out you must retain it in the box. All sluices have same problem. How do you retain the gold??? Some use Miners Moss. This helps a little but it to has its down falls also. Since it is a open weave water can again wash out the gold from under the riffle. And now the gold also falls through the Miners Moss and lies against the bottom of the box. Bad Idea again: You can't get the bottom of the box in the middle to seal against the riffle. The box well buckle out and leave an open space in the middle. (You can check this for yourself. Take a piece of letter paper. Cut a strip from it ((1 1/2 to 2 inches wide)) and place it under the Miners Moss, or Carpet, in the middle of the box. When you are finished assembling the box. See how easy you can pull out the paper.) Guess what you are loosing, Yup that is right, lots of gold again. I have this same problem, but I have a way to solve it. I put a dam across the end of the box below the water entry level. This retains the gold fines and doesn't increase the water speed. To add to all of this I have very deep riffles and a riffle frame that flips over so you can adjust it for the water speeds you find when you get to the stream. The down side to making my box: Because of these features it cost more to make and it takes longer to build. That is why my box cost a little more. You also have to clean up more often. Because of all of these changes my sluice boxes retains much more black sand and gold. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 inches of concentrate in the pail after a clean up. Up side is that you get much more gold and much more of that hard to get finer gold. Adjustable Riffle Selection Guide: STANDARD SIDE: Normal and slow water conditions. PLUS: For Very Slow Water and for Beach Sand in the surf some buyers remove the Riffle and use only the Riffled Carpet you can use it on the beach by just staking down the Sluice Box in the edge of the surf. You let the surf wash over it, and then run back through the funnel.
