Description
8" x 36" Combo Sluice Mat | Ultimate 3-Stage Gold Prospecting Sluice Mat
Experience the pinnacle of gold recovery with the 8" x 36" Combo Sluice Mat. This highly anticipated, extended-run mat is a favorite among serious prospectors for high-banking and concentrate reduction, where fine gold seems to simply "give up" when encountering its unparalleled design.
Simply place this mat in your sluice box and rely on our advanced, three-stage recovery system to securely lock onto your gold. Engineered to fit seamlessly into various high-performance setups—including the Multi-Sluice, Super Concentrator, and Piglet—this mat elevates your recovery to an entirely new level.
Enjoy a more efficient and forgiving prospecting experience: it's easier to use, highly tolerant of varying water flows and angles, allows you to process more material, results in fewer concentrates, and ultimately, delivers more gold! This configuration has been at the top of our "please make this" list for over a year—and now it's here.
Available in two distinct, field-tested 3-stage configurations to perfectly match your water flow and material conditions.
Choose Your Configuration Variant:
Variant 1: Micro / Micro-Dredge / Mini-Dredge Combo
Built for high-volume processing, maximum feed rates, and aggressive vortex separation.
Stage 1: Micro Profile (2nd Gen) Section: Delivers insane fine gold recovery that you can visibly see. It instantly indicates when you're on the gold without the gold migration issues common with other ribbed mats.
Stage 2: Micro-Dredge Profile Section: Features a tight, hyper-efficient profile with over 2x the holding capacity of traditional mat designs. Its high-speed vortex cells utilize dynamic hydro-cyclone power to spin out light waste material and lock down fine gold instantly.
Stage 3: Mini-Dredge Profile Section: The ultimate high-flow powerhouse safety net. It acts as the heavy-duty engine of the mat, making the entire system incredibly forgiving on both pitch and flow water adjustments.
Best For: Fast feed rates, highbankers running unclassified material, and prospectors looking to maximize yardage and fine gold retention simultaneously.
Variant 2: Micro / Cape-D / Mini Combo
The ultimate setup for fine gold precision, heavy black sand handling, and extreme concentrate reduction.
Stage 1: Micro Mat Section: Delivers insane fine gold recovery that you can visibly see. It instantly indicates when you're on the gold without the gold migration issues common with other ribbed mats.
Stage 2: Cape-D (New High-Low Version) Section: Optimized for exceptional fine gold recovery, particularly effective when dealing with heavy black sands and slower water conditions.
Stage 3: Mini Mat Section: Boasts a renowned "front-row gold" reputation, giving you the confidence that both fine gold and nuggets are securely locked down.
Best For: Final cleanups, high black sand areas, and operations running at a slightly slower water velocity.
Key Features & Specifications:
Unrivaled 3-Stage Processing: No single cell profile does everything. By combining three specialized, field-tested profiles into a massive 36" run, these mats capture everything from microscopic flour gold to coarse nuggets in a single pass.
Gold-Tested & Proven: Developed directly from real-world prospector feedback and trusted by the Dream Mat user group for unmatched reliability.
Durable Polyurethane Construction: Built from high-quality, flexible polyurethane designed to withstand highly abrasive rocks, gravels, and heavy black sands season after season.
True-Fit Dimensions: Fits standard 8" wide sluice channels. Actual dimensions are approximately 8" wide x 34.5" long (lengths may vary slightly).
Please Note:
Mounting: Sluice clamps are sold separately.
Color: While the physical color of your polyurethane mat may vary based on production runs, its exceptional gold recovery performance never will.
Profile Note: The tight, complex cell structures of the Micro and Micro-Dredge sections may occasionally feature minor cosmetic air bubbles or surface imperfections from the molding process. These are purely cosmetic and do not hinder the mat's functionality or fluid dynamics.

I picked up my 8x42 high banker yesterday and it was packed incredibly well. It's too hot out here but I'm going to try and get a a few pails run tomorrow. I'll be sending photos and how I'm setting everything up once I have everything dialed in. It's very difficult to run in the desert but I've got a few tricks that I do to make a little bit of water last a long time. It's over 110° out here in the desert right now so I'll try and hit it in the morning. If you're running dream mat, you're running the best mat ever made.

What's in your box I have been a long time user of the Prospectors Dream Mat in all of my equipment. When the combo mat first came out I purchased one to try it out in my gold hog multi sluice and was shocked at the amount of gold that was still in the tailings from the gold hog. I re-ran the tailings using the same 1200gph pump and 11 degree pitch only using the Prospectors Dream Combo Mat and recovered an additional. 035 grams of gold ranging from fly poop to 100 mesh. This is substantial considering this was only a 5 gallon bucket of tailings classified to a 1/4 minus. I have since purchased the Prospectors Dream Combo mat for my gold fox trommel, my 10 inch highbanker, both my 10 inch and 12 inch sluice boxes as well as my recirculator. I have also ordered the same combo mat configuration for my 3 stack gold cube. The design and configuration of the combo mat far exceeds anything out there. There is no specific angle or water flow needed to run this mat which takes the guess work out of capturing the gold. If you're using anything else you're cheating yourself on capturing the gold.

" A Revolution in gold recovery " The best piece of kit in our prospectors tool box! The combo mat is a dream, from feeding at great rates to seeing the gold being caught and held fast in the cells! This mat is so forgiving with the micro mat acting as an inspection mat, processing the material holding the fine gold & allowing the bigger bits to move into the larger cells bellow. ive ran the sluice all day and never seen any gold pass the half way mark!!!
