DigNew 18-piece Mini Sluice Box Gold Panning Kit — 12" Aluminum Sluice, Portable Prospecting Set with Pans & Classifiers

The DigNew 18-piece Mini Sluice Box Gold Panning Kit is a complete, portable prospecting system that includes a 12" aluminum sluice, pans, classifier, magnet and all accessories needed to recover fine gold in streams and rivers.

Whether you are trying panning for the first time or upgrading a hobby setup, this kit groups the main tools used by recreational prospectors into one compact pack. The aircraft-grade aluminum sluice keeps weight low while resisting corrosion, and the included pans, mats and recovery tools are sized to work together for efficient separation of gold from sediments.

How does the mini sluice box improve gold recovery?

The 12" aluminum sluice concentrates heavy minerals by guiding water flow through riffles and miner's moss, where gold settles out of lighter material. The design balances flow rate and capture area so fine particles have time to drop into the matting.

• 12" aircraft-grade aluminum body for lightweight durability
• Angled riffles and expanded metal grid to slow and trap heavy grains
• Dual-layer miner's moss with deep ribbing for finer gold capture
• Optimized for stream use and shallow channels

What tools are included and how do they work together?

This 18-piece set supplies the typical workflow from classifying sediments to storing recovered flakes. Each tool performs a specific step so you can process material more quickly and reduce loss of fine gold.

• Two gold pans for initial panning and final cleanup
• Two classifier screens to remove oversized gravel before sluicing
• Separating magnet for pulling black sands and magnetic minerals aside
• Snuffer bottles, vials and pipettes for safe transfer and storage of concentrates

Is the kit durable and easy to carry into the field?

The sluice box is made from 6000-series aluminum treated to resist rust and corrosion, keeping the unit light without sacrificing toughness. All accessories pack into the included drawstring backpack so you can hike to remote prospects with minimal bulk.

• Corrosion-resistant aluminum frame built for outdoor use
• Compact components designed to nest together for transport
• Drawstring backpack for hands-free carrying on trails
• Lightweight enough for day trips or multi-day excursions

How quickly can a beginner start using this kit?

The kit includes a plain-language user manual covering each accessory and step-by-step techniques, letting newcomers get to work without a long learning curve. With basic instructions on classifying, sluicing and concentrating, most beginners can assemble and operate the sluice on their first outing.

• Step-by-step manual for assembly and simple prospecting methods
• Clear guidance on when and how to use each tool in the set
• Recommended setup tips for different water conditions
