Dec 20, 2020 · A good sluice box should also be easy to disassemble so that prospectors can quickly clean and process materials. Because the riffles create barriers for the gold to become trapped by, it is one of the most important features of a sluice box. The riffles should be made from high-quality material, most are zinc plated, which is good.

The problem with this particular style of riffle is that it is extremely sensitive with respect to flow velocity and material composition so it is not necessarily a very good design for a 'general purpose' sluice box.

Quality matting is important not only in a basic sluice box, but also for the sluice on a suction dredge. It is a good idea to experiment with different water flows, angles of the sluice box, riffle types, and different matting to increase the fine gold recovery. To prevent clogging of the riffles and matting, don’t feed the riffles to fast.

A sluice box is like a long tray which is open at both ends. Most will have riffles, spaced evenly along the length of the sluice, usually every few inches, perpendicular to the length of the sluice. Riffles cause small barriers to the water flow which creates eddies in the water, giving the heavier material (black sand and gold) a chance to drop to the bottom, behind the riffles.

Riffles are purposeful obstructions which slow the movement of gold in the sluice so it can be trapped in miner's moss, carpeting, or rubber matting in the bottom of the sluice. Nineteenth century gold miners used wooden sluices that were at least 12 feet long, but modern gold prospectors primarily use sluice boxes made of plastic or metal which are typically 24, 36 or 48 inches long and 6 to 10 inches wide.

An old friend with a new twist” might be one way to describe a fluid bed sluice box. I’ve been mining with sluice boxes since the 1980s, so to me a sluice box is definitely an old friend. The new twist is that fluid bed sluices do not use a set of riffles and matting to capture gold like a typical sluice.

The primary advantage of a hydraulic riffle is that it "dilates" or fluidizes the sluice bed which could allow heavies to penetrate deeper and have a better chance of being retained. It will also help keep the sluice from becoming impacted or "plugged up" with undesirable lighter material.

A sluice box should be set with a 4-8 degree angle. Another rule of thumb is that the sluice should be angled to drop roughly 2 inches per foot of length. The exact angle depends on the size and weight of the material, the riffle design, and the speed of the current.

Quality sluice box matting is important not only in a basic sluice, but also for highbanker mat, and on a suction dredge. Riffles do a great job of slowing down the gold, but some type of matting underneath the riffles is required to hold the gold and help prevent it from flowing out the bottom along with waste material.
