A good visual measure of correct water speed is a "bubble" created over each riffle. The sluice box is set with a slight downhill tilt, about 1 inch for every 1 or 2 feet of sluice box, so the water runs fast enough through the box to wash away the lighter blonde sands and gravel, but not so fast as to wash out all the black sand and of course the gold. The sluice box is placed in the water with the entrance of the box upstream, so water flows through the box. (See our sluice kit below for a quick and easy way to get started with sluicing for gold.)Ī sluice box is a metal, wood, or plastic channel that has "riffles" and other devices in it to catch gold.
Sluicing is the use of a "sluice box" in a creek or river to separate gold from gravel.
