DESCRIPTION
Meet the Sluice Fox Pocket Gold Sluice — a compact, high-performance mini sluice box built for serious prospectors who need a lightweight sampling tool that actually works.
At just 12 inches long, this pocket sluice is ideal for testing remote tributaries, abandoned bedrock formations, and hard-to-reach gold-bearing terrain where larger sluices are impractical. It’s also perfect for quick cleanups at home after a day on the river.
The metal version of the Sluice Fox pocket sluice is made from durable materials and features expanded metal riffles over your choice of Miner’s Moss or V-Trap matting (both included). The matting is secured to keep the system tight and reliable while in use.
The TPR version is made Entirely of Flexible Rubberized Plastic material. It features a flexible and non-brittle construction with multiple Riffle Patterns.
Born near historic Keyesville, California, Sluice Fox combines modern manufacturing with generations of placer mining knowledge to create better prospecting tools for real outdoor use — whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or a seasoned miner sampling new ground.
