Patented Sluice Mats That Catch More Gold
When you're prospecting, a Dream Mat lines your sluice box and separates the gold from your paydirt, while water carries the rest away.
PE-tested at 96% fine gold recovery. Other matting loses nearly 3x more gold than a Dream Mat. More gold in your mat, more money in your pocket.

How a Dream Mat catches more gold
In a PE-certified test commissioned by Prospectors Dream, the Dredge Mat caught 96.0% of the fine gold against 88.4% for expanded metal over miner's moss.
-
Water spins in every cell
Patented vortex cells turn the flow into small whirlpools across the mat.
-
Gold drops and stays put
Heavy gold settles into the cells while sand and gravel wash through. Most of the test gold stayed in the top two feet.
-
Clean out faster
Cleanup was faster too: 5:45 against 9:20. The Dream Mat left just 18 lb of concentrate to process against 49.6 lb, and still caught more gold.

Example figures shown. Assumes your current matting catches 88.4% of fine gold, like the expanded metal in the test.
Shop Dream MatsEstimate only. Based on a PE-certified sluice test commissioned by Prospectors Dream (Elkhorn Engineering, 2026): a Dream Mat (the Dredge Mat) recovered 96.0% of the fine gold, against 88.4% for expanded metal over miner's moss, one run per setup. The calculator assumes your current matting recovers fine gold like that expanded metal setup and adds the difference, about 8.5% more, to the fine gold you enter. Coarser material came out about even in the test. If you already run a Dream Mat or matting that holds fine gold better, expect little or no difference. Your ground, gold size and water flow will differ, so results vary. Gold is valued at the spot price in US dollars from gold-api.com, updated daily; buyers and refiners pay less than spot.
