Sluice angle
So to preface, I am very new to prospecting, sluice boxing and panning. I made my own sluice box to hold the mats because let’s face it, the boxes themselves are seriously way overpriced. So, I made my own from old aircraft ply I had laying around as you will see in the picture, sanded, waterproof glued, stained and treated.
I tried something for getting the right angle that may not work 100% for everyone. I simply added a small bubble level to the side for the angle I want the box to be at. So in this case it would be ~7 degrees at “level”, slightly higher in the window is 8, slightly lower is 6. Anyone already doing this? I figured since it is important I would make it easier to tell for myself. I dont get to use streams a whole lot so this works for my needs. I travel a lot and it’s light, works (thanks to the dream mat for making quick work) and was really cheap, IE I had the materials.
