All buyers Well Be Given A Second Chance Offer.+++


This sale is for a single Long Sluice Box with Kit.
OTHER SIZES ON REQUEST


The last two photos show what other buyers have done to alter their sluice into a High Banker with the Kit.

Maybe you can make yours over to do the something similar.

When you make the spray bar, have a removable plug so you can wash it out. This will allow you to wash out the leaves in the field.


You will be getting one of the finest Sluice boxes made today.


You will also find that it contains one of their famous FLIPPING RIFFLES, which is just the ticket for those changing water conditions you always find. Wolf Trap make the only riffle on the market today that can be Quickly Changed for whatever water conditions you run into.


Why You Need A Wolf Trap Sluice Box:

In a standard Sluice Box the water must rise to go over the riffle. The water that enters the sluice is at a given speed and volume. If your water is 2 inches deep at a given speed and you introduce a riffle into it. The flow of the water can\'t go up get to clear the riffle. So it must go faster. If the riffle is 1 inch high the water speed increases 2 times. This means: The gold won\'t drop out as fast because the water is faster. Hence you need a longer sluice box. Not just 2 times longer but probably closer to 4 or 5 times longer to get the gold to drop out.


Now take one of the Wolf Trap Sluice Boxes.


Note:

The riffle is below the entry water level. This means that the water must slow down to fill this extra space. Now what happens when the water slows down? It drops its Gold very quickly. Hence you don\'t need a real long sluice box to get the gold to drop out. This quick loss of water speed also makes the fine gold drop quickly. This fine gold would normally not drop at all.


Now that the gold has dropped out you must retain it in the box:

All sluices have the same problem. How do you retain the gold??? Some use a piece of Expanded Metal under the riffle. They hope to hide the gold in it.


Bad idea:

The water now can find holes under the riffle to wash out the gold instead of trapping it.


Some use Miners Moss: This helps a little but it to has its down falls. Since it is a open weave water can again wash out the gold from under the riffle. And now the gold also falls through the Miners Moss and lies against the bottom of the box.


Bad Idea Again:

You can\'t get the bottom of the box in the middle to seal against the riffle. The box well buckle out and leave an open space in the middle. (You can check this for yourself. Take a piece of letter paper. Cut a strip from it ((1 1/2 to 2 inches wide)) and place it under the Miners Moss, or Carpet, in the middle of the box. When you are finished assembling the box. See how easy you can pull out the paper.) Guess what you are loosing, Yup that is right, lots of gold again.


Wolf Trap had this same problem.

But they have found a way to solve it. They put a dam across the end of the box below the water entry level. This retains the gold fines and doesn\'t increase the water speed.


Wolf Traps Riffle:
To add to all of this the Wolf Trap Sluice Box has a very deep set of riffles. And a riffle frame that flips over so you can adjust it for the water speeds you find when you get to the stream.


The down side to making their Sluice Box:

Because of these features it cost more to make and it takes longer to build. That is why their box cost a little more. You also have to clean up more often. Because of all of these features their Sluice Boxes retains much more black sand and gold. We have seen as much as 2 to 3 inches of concentrate in the pail after a clean up.


On the up side:

You get much more gold and much more of that hard to get finer gold.


Adjustable Riffle Selection Guide:

FAST SIDE: For Spring Run offs and other very fast water conditions. (Flat Side Up)


STANDARD or SLOW SIDE SIDE: Normal and slow water conditions. (Flat Side Against The Carpet)


PLUS: For Very Slow Water and for Beach Sand in the surf some buyers remove the Riffle and use only the Riffled Carpet (Wedge under the pins). You can use it on the beach by just staking down the Sluice Box in the edge of the surf. You let the surf wash over it, and then when the water runs back through the funnel. Add the dirt. BUT Please REMEMBER THIS ONLY WORKS IN A WOLF TRAP SLUICE BOX. Because it has a Sunken Riffle Chamber So That The GOLD Won\'t Wash Out Of The Box.

Our New Sluice Box Attachment Kit:

This is just the ticket for your Wolf Trap Sluice; It can be made into a High Banker, Recalculating Unit or to Adjust Water Flow and much more.


You can adjust the water flow that is coming into the Sluice Box with the Funnel Cover.


You can also shut off the water flow in the box so that you can see what is in the Sluice Box with the Funnel Cover. This helps you when you are removing the sluice or place it into the stream.

You can put the Funnel Cover on upside down to close off the end of the funnel. This will allow you to turn your Sluice Box into a High Banker on Recirculating unit. With the addition of a pump, some PVC pipe, hose and Duct Tape.


The Bridges are placed on top of the box. This will help you hold the sluice in place with a rock or bucket of water.


The Float Gold Recovery Kit is placed just behind the funnel, across the top of the box, from the outside of the box attaching to the Thumb Screw, washer and wing nut assembly. The washcloth lays on top of the water. You just add dish soap on the top of the washcloth just below the water line. A few lines from side to side, Add more soap every few pails of dirt. This will break up the surface tension of the water and let the float gold drop into the box.


The whole kit, except for the washcloth, Attaches to the Sluice Box with a clip placed under the wing nut that holds on the funnel with a cord. The washcloth is hooked over a Cross Rod and under the edge of a riffle.

Testimonial Received 2-14-05

I have had your long sluice for about a year now. I am well pleased and find that I have gotten more gold out of the Mother Lode, hour by hour, with my Wolf Trap Sluice Box than with a Keene. You may use me as a happy reference. Dr. Steve Bookout, Newton, Iowa

Testimonial Received From Jerry Odom; Colorado Springs, CO. 4-22-07
I am from Colorado and have been prospecting for gold over 25 years. One thing is certain; there is more FINE gold than the big stuff especially here in Colorado. I bet that may be true, wherever you may be prospecting. I use a standard sluice box use with raised riffles, which make the water {plus the fine gold}go up and over the riffles. This simply speeds up the water and makes it extremely hard to capture the fine gold behind their riffles and then most of it goes out the bottom end. The WOLF TRAP changed all that while applying a simple theory. Fine gold, as it moves down a stream is looking for a slower, wider pool of water so it can drop to the bottom. The WOLF TRAP box and riffles are below where the dirt and water enter which, One, It does not speed up the water, Two, It gives the fine gold a place to settle just like it naturally would in a stream. The riffle design itself is really flexible as you can flip-flop the riffles depending on the speed of the stream you are working. Based on what I have seen using a standard sluice box next to a WOLF TRAP, the WOLF TRAP wins hands down with fine gold recovery with the standard sluice losing about 65-75% more of fine gold (the test consisted of running 5 five gallon buckets of dirt thru each sluice, sitting next to each other with the same angle, then pan what each sluice caught, then panning the tailing of each. Not scientific, but darn close to what you can expect). If you are going to be out there, why not get more gold. I whole-heartily recommend the WOLF TRAP and I think you will be very happy at clean up time. Jerry Odom, Mountain Man Discount Store, Colorado Springs, Colorado.


Testimonial from Jack Reeves; Vancouver, Washington 3-28-09
Wolf your sluice box came today and I immediately tested it against my old box. I used a known quantity of fine and flake LEAD for gold. And your box captured nearly 100% of the flake and fine \"gold\" while my sluice lost about 30%. The big dust catcher was the dead end box at the \"out\" end. I also had the expanded metal in the old box and had no idea how much color was escaping. I’m going to see my son in Nevada County Cal. in a couple weeks and will send you an update on how this works for me looking for the real stuff. Thanks for taking the extra time building me your best box!! It was worth the wait.

Regards

Jack
Up Date His son bought a Sluice Box also.

You can CARRY IT ON YOUR BACK, By using the carrying strap. This will LEAVES YOUR HANDS FREE to carry other stuff, or ride a Motorcycle, Bike, Horse or whatever.


EASY & QUICK CLEAN UP: The end fits into a 5 gallon or a 3 1/2 gallon pail.


Wolf Trap Mining suggests that you clean up once an hour. If you want Gold.


The suction of this riffle is so high that you can expect to see 1 1/2 inches + of concentrate in your pail every time you clean up.


The recovery of very fine fines is so high that you will probably need to purchase a good gold wheel to recover most of them. 200 mesh or finer is not uncommon.


Also please take note: After use let the carpet get good and dry. Back fold it. Then turn it up side down. How place it on top of the riffle and tap it on the backside to remove any gold still stuck in it. Do this over a tray or washtub. We have seen over a 1/8 oz of gold recovered this way. (This of course depends on how much and how rich your material was.)
