Factory 2nds - 4X16 Adventure Gold Sluice Box – Micro/Mini Dredge Edition | Dream Mat
The Ultimate Backpack Sluice for Serious Gold Recovery
Take your gold prospecting to the next level with the evolved 4x16 Adventure Sluice. We have taken the legendary portability of our 2nd Gen Adventure Sluice and supercharged the recovery system. By swapping the standard 3-stage profile for the aggressive Micro-Dredge and Mini-Dredge combination, this unit is now tuned to handle richer feeds and more turbulent water while maintaining the fine gold recovery Dream Mat is famous for.
Whether you are trekking into the backcountry, e-biking to remote claims, or keeping a unit in your glove box for impromptu stops, this sluice box proves that size doesn't dictate success.
Key Features
-
Maximum Portability: The "Adventure" name isn't just a label; it's a promise. Designed to be backpack-able and lightweight, this unit fits easily into saddlebags or packs. It allows you to reach remote locations where the gold has yet to be touched.
-
New Dredge Combo Matting: We have upgraded the heart of the sluice to feature a powerful dual-stage configuration:
-
Micro-Dredge: Located at the top of the slick plate, this profile offers insane sensitivity for fine gold. It creates a fluid dynamic exchange that captures flour gold instantly before it has a chance to migrate.
-
Mini-Dredge: The workhorse of the system. This profile excels at handling heavy black sands and larger material. It utilizes advanced vortex cells to scour out light material while locking down nuggets and flakes.
-
Scientific Recovery: This is not a toy. The physics behind the Dream Mat vortex cells mimics the natural hydro-dynamics found in riverbeds, but accelerated. The system actively processes material, moving gold back upstream into the low-pressure zones.
Why Choose the Dredge Edition?
Gold mining has evolved. The new Micro and Mini-Dredge profiles allow for a more aggressive feed rate compared to the standard ribbed mats. If you are feeding unclassified material or working in areas with heavy mineralization, this matting combo acts like a compact highbanker tray, scrubbing material and settling values quickly.
