Overview
Gold Panning Sluice Length 18 cm Mini Sluice with Cross Ridges Made by 3D Printing Black For Panning in Streams and Shallow Rivers

The gold panning sluice is a small handheld trough designed to separate gold flakes from sand and gravel directly in flowing water. Its length is 18 cm, making it easy to fit in a backpack, fishing bag, or coat pocket, so you can take it with you on every trip to the water. The sluice is made by 3D printing and has a simple shape of an open trough with sides and a widened entrance where material is poured in. It is suitable for beginners wanting to try panning as well as for more experienced prospectors needing a small addition to their gold pan. It requires no assembly, electricity, or batteries, working solely with the water flow.

The bottom of the sluice features a series of cross ridges that slow down the water flow. Lighter sand and small stones are carried away by the water, while heavier particles, including gold flakes, settle in the ridges. The principle is the same as that of large gold panning sluices, only in a pocket-sized version suitable for shallow streams and slower rivers. You place the sluice in the water so that the flow enters the wider end, and gradually add material to it. After a while, simply lift the sluice carefully out of the water and rinse the contents of the ridges into a pan or bowl, where you can clean the captured material further.

The sluice is perfect for weekend trips, camping, and outings with children who want to see how panning works. It works best in areas where the water flows evenly and not too swiftly. To prevent the material in the ridges from washing away, it is advisable to weigh down the sluice with a stone or hold it in place with your hand. After use, rinse the sluice with clean water, let it dry, and store it away from direct sunlight to maintain its shape.

For those looking for a small and compact tool for gold panning, this 18 cm sluice is ideal for easy transport to any water source. The series of ridges on the bottom captures heavier particles and facilitates work with the gold pan. Thanks to its black colour, the light and shiny gold flakes in the ridges are clearly visible. The sluice requires no tools or preparation, and you can start panning immediately upon arrival at the stream. It is a practical addition to your gold prospecting equipment, suitable for streams and shallow rivers.
