I have an 8" x 47" sluice. Adding this hopper box only makes things better at capturing the gold. The hopper box has two areas of gold capture. The top & bottom of the hopper box has miners moss. Plus you have the dream mat. How can you go wrong? Three areas of gold capture. Im very pleased with my purchase of the 8" hopper box. 🇺🇲
I have used it only once and am very happy with the hopper. The only down side has to do with the jarvine riffles. I had to remove them from the box to remove all the rocks which took over 30 minutes. I can’t see doing this every time I use this power sluice. I am thinking about removing the riffles.
