The Backpacking Sluice Box is a lightweight, modular sluice system designed specifically for prospectors who want maximum portability without compromising gold recovery. Compact enough to fit into a backpack, it is ideal for remote prospecting trips where weight and pack size matter.

The modular design allows you to customise your setup by using as many or as few sluice sections as required. Each section connects securely using modular connectors, and you can choose between two different riffle styles to suit your prospecting conditions and recovery preferences.

The Backpacking Sluice Box is designed to operate using the natural flow of creeks and streams. In locations where water flow is limited, it can also be used with a small water pump to maintain consistent operation.

Manufactured using durable, UV-resistant PETG, the Backpacking Sluice Box is lightweight, water-resistant and built to withstand repeated outdoor use.
