I made one of these sluices a while back,to work with when there was minimal water around.

I like to cart my own water,opens up a lot more locations.

You would use 2 tubs underneath your outlet end,one overflowing into the other.

Prop up your feed end to desired angle by height depending on material.

pretty simple,forgive the crap paint,but it gets the job done.

cost me less than $10 bucks in parts considering I had most laying around.

I've since given it to a friend as I have a proper sluice that I bought.so sorry,no pics.

it works,it's a tested sluice,just not got pics since i've long given it to someone else.

i'll knock one up when I get time and post up the results.

it's really ideal for fines,having such a long run.

helps to have a spray bottle for squirting it down when you're ready to pan off.
