Gold Sluice Boxes

A sluice box is the workhorse of creek prospecting: water flows through a channel of riffles and matting, heavy gold drops out, and light material washes away. Choosing one is mostly about where you will run it and how much material you want to move.

How to choose sluice boxes

  • Running in a creek with steady flow? A standard stream sluice uses the water already moving past you and needs no pump.
  • No running water where you dig, or want to work a fixed spot? Recirculating setups pair a box with a pump and tub so nothing goes to waste.
  • Hiking in? Weight and packability matter — compact alloy boxes carry easier, while full-size boxes catch finer gold but weigh more. Every product below lists its weight.
  • New to sluicing? The products are tagged by expertise level, so beginner-friendly boxes are easy to spot.
