49 inches of USA-made gold recovery. Built to feed with a shovel.
Most portable sluices make you choose — compact and easy to carry, or big enough to handle real material loads. The Golden Chute doesn't make you choose.
At 49 inches long with a 6⅞" chute width and 14" integrated funnel, it channels material efficiently from the first load. Fixed high-performance mats and precision riffles trap fine and coarse gold in a single pass. The extended processing surface handles heavy material without sacrificing recovery — no fussing, no repositioning, just clean consistent results run after run.
Creek sluicing, highbanker setups, anywhere you need a reliable workhorse — this is the sluice that earns its place in your gold prospecting starter kit and stays there.
What you get:
🔹 49" processing surface — handles heavy material loads
🔹 6⅞" chute width + 14" integrated funnel
🔹 Fixed mats + precision riffles — fine and coarse gold
🔹 Field-ready, portable package
🔹 Hand-inspected before it ships
