Finally got a chance to test out the Prospector Dream Mats 8" mini mat in a Paul Jarvis (Adventures in Gold Prospecting) Triple Threat Sluice. The mini mat was designed to catch fine gold and for con reduction. Paul's sluice gives you the option of swapping between a stream sluice flare or power head for recirc or at home con reduction. It is well built and Paul continues to seek feedback from his customers to improve his already awesome product!

One of the common questions on the mini mat is to what size should you classify, so I made this video to show it running 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2". I was please to learn it runs great at 1/2", which is what most folks classify to. Even in the slightly low flow I had it running at.

I bought both the 8" mini to be able to reduce dredge cons in the field, as well as run as a recirc away from the water source, as well as the 6", to run cons at home.

I can definitely recommend the mini dream mat as a winner for catching the Colorado (and everywhere else) small stuff!

Mike S did also use it for a bit, as well as my 12" full sized dream mat, so maybe he'll weigh in with his thoughts.
