Do It Yourself, Homemade Gold Sluice Box
28/7/2011#0183;#32;This type of sluice box does catch gold, and is easy to build, but is hard to clean out at the end of the day. In addition the gravel will beat up the wooden riffles over time. It is also possible to create steel riffles that fit inside a wooden sluice, and in that case you can also use miners Moss or some similar material to line the bottom of the sluice underneath the metal riffles.
