One of the most practical and enduring methods of gold prospecting involves the use of the sluice box, a piece of gold prospecting equipment that has been in continuous use for over a hundred years. Amazingly one of the very best gold mining devices on the market today is still the traditional hand or steam sluice box for three simple reasons - they don't require gas, are lightweight and easy to pack and most of all - they work.

The technology of sluice-boxes has changed a bit over the decades but the fundamentals of letting mother nature do the hard work for you in separating the gold from the waste rock and gravel still remain. Even modern high production gold dredges rely on the simple sluice box to find gold.
