| The Micro Sluice Jr. model offers unbeatable gold recovery at a budget price. Concentrates over 30 lbs per hour (2+ gallons) of any preclassified 1/8" mesh or smaller material and retains up to 95% of all visible gold! Designed by John McCann, a mechanical engineer, the lightweight (3 lbs.) back-packable Micro-Sluice Jr. processes dry or wet concentrates at the rate of over 2 gallons per hour and will retain more than 95% of all visible gold. A high efficiency 400 GPH, marine pump, using only 1.0 amps x 12VDC, allows 30-40 hours of operation on a single car battery. Micro-Sluice Jr. is 100% field portable with 8-10 hours of run time on a motorcycle battery (battery is not included). The Micro-Sluice Jr. is ideal for dry or desert use as a wet recycler. Up to 1/4 cu.yd. of material can be processed with only 5-10 gals of water via use of the exclusive "float-mounted-pump." Now an industry standard, our pioneered v-groove rubber mat allows for an instant value check so you can see your gold right away! The Micro-Sluice Jr. patented technology uses a custom molded wide, flat bottom - unlike narrow "rain gutter machines" to assure maximum recovery of all of your gold (we are 50% wider)! The Micro-sluice Jr. 6" wash-down tube is provided to flush out your gold pan or sample bottle and for final clean out. The float-mounted-pump guarantees no lost gold as tailings can be run through again to check for proper operation. The Micro-Sluice Jr. will reduce up to 1/4 cu. yd. of material into 1-2 tablespoons of "super concentrates" making the final pan clean-up less than 5 minutes. The Micro-Sluice Jr. is the most economical product in the Micro-Sluice concentrator line. We are the king of the "black sand". Anyone can recover gold from light "blond" sand - we demo with heavy "black" sand and do it better than the competition. Compared with other products which are generally slower, and/or higher priced, the Micro-Sluice Jr. is a superior gold recovery machine in accuracy, speed & value! Reliability is a hallmark of all of the products made by Micro-Sluice Gold Products. Over 3,600 Micro-Sluice units have been sold in 16 countries over the last fourteen years!

| The Micro Sluice # 2 model is an advanced gold concentrator. It's 58% larger (19" x 8") and even faster. It uses a 6 hole feed hopper and a new high efficiency 1250 gps float mounted pump. Designed by John McCann, a mechanical engineer, the Micro-Sluice 2 is a bigger, faster version of the successful original Micro-Sluice 1. Weighing just 12 lbs. and measuring 25" long, the Micro-Sluice 2 processes wet or dry concentrates at a rate up to 1/3 cu. yd. per hour. Recovery is typically 98% of visible gold plus 60-90% of free gold down to 200- mesh (tailings can be run a second time to test accuracy). The included high efficiency 1250 gal./hr pump uses only 3 amps x 12 VDC. This will allow 10 to 20 hours operation on a car battery (not included). Designed for heavy duty use, the Micro-Sluice 2 will provide years of reliability with either the 12 VDC pump version or with the provided hose adapter. The four aluminum mounting legs provide a sturdy and accurate means of mounting to the heavy duty 5 gallon Pump/base bucket. The built-in angle indicator guarantees the correct angle of sluice and repeatable results. The innovative and unique 4-stage water recycling system uses a float mounted pump to provide a consistent flow of water to the hopper and sluice. The included screen collects all but the finest of tailings in a separate tailings bucket before recycling water back to the pump bucket. This allows extended use on 8-10 gallons of water. During operation, the 2-qt. feed hopper is fed pre-classified concentrates by the cup. Six water jets in the hopper mix with the concentrates to form an ore slurry. The slurry flows into the sluice section through metered openings which drop mixture onto 2,000 holes in the classifier plate and into quiet water before entering the riffle section. Operated at the correct angle, up to 98% of the visible gold will be captured. Black sand with sub-visible or "flour" gold may be collected with the optional Micro-Moss Extender sluice which will produce about 1 cup of "super concentrates" which may require amalgamation. In addition, the HFBE (Highly Fluidized Bed Entrapment) vibrator is recommended for those difficult jobs. The Micro-Sluice 2 is ideal for use in water limited areas using wet recycling. Up to 1/4 cu. yd. of material can be run with 10 gallons of water varying soil type. The Float mounted pump and separate tailings bucket make recycling water practical! All Micro-Sluice Gold Products are consistent as reliability is our hallmark. The Micro-Sluice 2 will outperform any gold wheel in terms of accuracy, speed, or value! Micro-Sluice 2 will reduce any amount 1/3 cu. yd. of concentrates into 3 tablespoons of "super-concentrate", which will reduce final clean-up to about 5 minutes with a small gold pan. Micro-Sluice 2 has a full one year limited warranty. $299 - Micro-Sluice 2 BASIC: includes two buckets, scoop, float pump kit, screen, dual hose adapter, and the Micro-Moss extender assembly.

| The Micro-Sluice Concentrator model needs No pre-classifying or pre-screening required! Designed and patented by John McCann this work horse gold concentrator is based on the very popular Micro-Sluice 2 design. It uses a "double-deck / high banker" type design and will accept any size material and retain the gold from 4 mesh (1/4") down to very minute 200 mesh! No pre-classifying or pre-screening material required! Run your material straight into the unit. Highly portable, with a size and weight of 12" x 25" (folded up) and only 14 pounds, the Micro-Concentrator will process up to 300 lbs per hour. The accuracy is typically 95-98% for visible gold and 60-90% for sub-visible (free milling gold), down to around 200 mesh. The Micro-Moss Extender Sluice, or HFBE Vibrator is recommended for those "difficult" jobs with micron or "flour" gold. With the unique water recycling system and ability to handle most any size material without pre-classifying, the Micro-Concentrator is the first truly portable, mini high banker! A 1250 GPH high efficiency pump, with two nozzles, circulates water from buckets or pools, using only 3 amps x 12 VDC. This will allow about 10 hours use on a car battery or, for true portability as a high banker, 3.5 hours of use on a light motorcycle battery (Battery not provided). Designed for heavy duty use, the Micro-Concentrator will provide years of reliable operation with either the 12VDC pump version or with included hose adapter. Four aluminum legs provide a sturdy and accurate means of mounting to the HD 5 gallon Pump/base Bucket (provided). Built in angle indicator guarantees you always will have the correct angle of the sluice box and easily repeatable good results. In operation, the upper "hopper sluice" can be fed any size material which dissolves in the water flow to form an ore slurry. This passes over the 1/4" grizzly. Oversized material is automatically rejected and the 1/4" minus material passes into the lower sluice. The slurry now passes over a micro-classifying plate, with a total of 2,318 x 16 mesh holes and into more quiet water. The sub-visible gold is collected in this manner. Larger particles pass into the sluice where rubber v-grooves, mesh and riffles capture 95-98% of the visible gold. Any quantity of black sand concentrate will be reduced to only three tablespoons of "super-concentrate" which will pan to clean gold in 5 minutes. The unique triple classification system produces a truly 1st class gold recovery machine! The Micro-Concentrator is ideal for desert use as a wet recycler, on river banks or small pools - the anywhere gold machine! With all Micro-Sluice Gold Products, reliability is our hallmark. The Micro-Concentrator will outperform any gold wheel in terms of accuracy, speed, or value! BONUS: although not designed as such, Rock Hounds in the southeastern U.S. describe the Micro-Concentrator as an "AWESOME" machine for separating & classifying gem stones. The Micro-Concentrator has a full one year limited warranty. Micro-Sluice Concentrator includes a bunch of stuff: 2 buckets, scoop, float pump kit, Micro-Moss Extender assembly, and a dual hose adapter. Please note - Item is shown with optional upgrade: Heavy Duty HFBE Vibrator.
Add the optional HFBE Vibrator for even greater fine gold separation. Shipping averages $40-$60 within the USA. Alaska, Hawaii and International orders will have additional freight added.
