American-Made Prospecting Equipment

American-Made Prospecting Equipment

Hobby Miner Outlet designs and manufactures gold prospecting equipment in Oregon, USA. Every product starts with USA-sourced materials, is built at our Oregon facility, and is hand-inspected before it ships.

If you are looking for American-made prospecting gear — sluice boxes, highbankers, gold pans, or fine gold recovery mats — you are in the right place.

What We Make

Sluice Boxes — modular sluice systems built for creek conditions. Designed for fine gold recovery in cold water, rated to 40°F. Built in Oregon.

Highbankers — for prospectors working claims without direct water access. Run your material through a pump-fed highbanker and recover fine gold without needing to be in the creek.

Gold Pans — USA-made pans built for real use. Not decorative. Not imported. Built to work.

Bio-Memetic Grass Mats — our fine gold recovery matting, engineered to capture flour gold and fine color that standard riffles miss. Tested in cold water flow. Built in Oregon.

Bundles and Starter Kits — complete setups for prospectors who want to get into the field without piecing together gear from multiple sources.

Our Manufacturing Standard

Every Hobby Miner Outlet product is built to our four-point standard:

  • USA-sourced materials — we start with domestic raw materials
  • Oregon manufacturing — built at our facility, not overseas
  • Hand-inspected — every unit reviewed by a person before it ships
  • 40°F Cold Rating — tested for real Pacific Northwest creek conditions

If it doesn’t meet all four, it doesn’t ship under our name.

We manufacture our own gear, carry authorized partner lines from First Texas Products and Proline, and organize everything by skill level so you find the right gear for where you are — not just the most expensive option.
