VDR Mini Sluice (3x36 inch) for quick black sand concentrate cleanups

from $160.00

With Devin Gold’s proven vortex drop riffle (VDR) technology, this mini sluice will amaze with how quickly concentrates can be turned into clean gold. Even gold particles smaller than one thousand mesh can be recovered, pooling within the vortices that eject lighter material and leave the gold behind. Save hours of cleanup time compared to traditional methods and far more expensive gear! This mini sluice, a VDR equipped highbanker, and a gold pan are the three most potent tools in a prospector’s arsenal. Be sure you can get maximum recovery of even the smallest micro fine gold in minimal time.

This is a perfect gift or tool for any small scale hobbyist, prospector, or would-be miner.

A hose adapter for ease of use is available for an additional $20 (USD). It contains a 3/4 inch FIP fitting that allows you to add a new fitting to match your water hookup method. The base requires a male 3/4 inch male fitting while a standard garden hose is usually 5/8. For a self contained system we recommend a 1000 GPH bilge pump with a fitting that matches its hose output size.

Note: Units are most likely to be green.

This is a must for all small and hobby level prospectors. It offers exceptional value and recovery, offering far more utility than many far more expensive products.

A cleanup that would often take 8-10 hours even using many modern gold gadgets can now be completed in under one! When you are out in the field it is efficient to get recovery numbers directly so that a prospector can adjust course. Hauling concentrates is expensive so reduce it to high purity gold and carry it out in your pocket instead!

Depending on how highly you value your own time, this finishing sluice could pay for itself in a single day!
