I hate to give it up but the fact is most places I go the water flow borders between just barely enough/ not quite enough. Ive already purchased a 24 inch sniper and it's much better for me.
The prospector worked great when I could use it and it CAN eat LARGE volumes of unclassified material while catching the gold. More than you can shovel friends, I guarantee that! It will work as hard as you want to.


It has normal wear and a small crack on the fin on the side of the flare from squeezing it in my pack. It could be fixed with a plastic weld but never had been an issue for me.
I've never modified it and never needed to, although I've considered V matting at the top. It's been an awesome sluice and super easy to use with fast cleanouts.
If anyone has a good trade or an offer. Mining equipment, ammo or gun accessories, gold , silver, cash works too!
I'm also looking for another 24" (including flare) riffle design sluice similar to the royal or jobe or keene for the even smaller water flows and backpack friendly weight.

Crusty, that didn't take long at all, good for you. After conversing with you a couple weeks ago about the one Bazooka I did go and buy it, like your self I'm a bit of a gadget collector. I modified the grizzly on it and tried it out, seem to work pretty good, but as you mentioned it does take a bit more water flow for this type of sluice, and you have to clean it out a bit more often, I think the boiler box could be a little longer. Well at least I know if I decide to sell it it'll go quick.
