30" Freshy - Gold Trap Sluice
Croc Gold Traps
The 30" Freshy Gold Trap Sluice is the middle of the range, making it ideal for daily use under any conditions whilst still being robust and large enough to deliver high yields.
'Snap up the gold' the easiest and most efficient way with the Croc Gold Trap. Just place in the stream and start shovelling - no need to classify!
Croc Traps are fluid bed type sluices designed to be operated by both professionals and novices. The basic design is modelled on the old Bazooka Gold Trap with some improvements. It has been successfully used all over the globe from prospectors and adventurers in Australia to villagers in remote areas of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, providing incomes to local communities.
Made from ABS plastic with stainless steel Grizzlies, they are extremely robust. Unlike older technology sluices with matting, these fluid bed sluice boxes are less susceptible to reduction in performance as a result of accidental rough treatment. No assembly required just set up and go for it.
Whether you are camping or caravanning overnight, or for the rest of your life, they are becoming an essential item on the packing list right above the fishing gear. Beware, a side affect using a Croc Gold Trap is Gold fever!
Ensuring good water-flow through you Croc Gold Trap is essential to producing superior yields and successful outcomes. Place your Croc Gold Trap Sluice directly within the flow with the flare (the larger mouth) at the top of the flow (upstream) and the trap (the smaller exit containing the filter) downstream.
Using rocks, you can build a "retaining" wall around the Croc, using the tape to hold the sluice in place. To maintain a consistent flow and enough water throughput across the deck to move your paydirt along the deck and breakdown the fill you need to achieve an angle of approximately 5-10 degrees from flare to trap (from upstream to downstream). Again, using rocks found at your location, you can raise the flare/upstream end of your croc or you may find in shallow steams that need to lower the trap/downstream end of the croc by digging a shallow slope falling away from upstream to downstream
Your Croc Gold Trap has an upper deck surface and a lower water scoop. Achieving a reasonable and workable water flow across the deck will ensure that you will have a good flow through the lower scoop as well. In the case of very fast running streams with small, loose travelling materials, you may find it necessary to occasionally check that the lower scoop flare entrance is clear from larger debris which can reduce flow and pressure through the scoop area.
