Sluice unfolds into a 50" long, 9" wide sluice and sets up quickly. Review: A sweet piece of prospecting gear. - Trying to get all your gear down to the river where the gold is, is a PITA. This sluice box is a well constructed product that will fit into a standard sized backpack or five-gallon plastic bucket with ease for easy transportation to the river. And once you get to the river, will easily open into a full size sluice box. In short, it's a wide, long, light, compact, well constructed sluice box that fits into either a backpack or bucket. What's not to like? I've seen straight sluice boxes for $135.00+ and they don't fold up. And because they don't fold up, they lack the compact convenience this folding unit brings to the river. Once unfolded and the screws are tightened down, this folding sluice box provides an excellent platform for the purpose of separating out classified material that you worked so hard digging out from under a bolder. Kudos for the wingnut suggestion in one of the prior reviews; mine is without wingnuts. Happy prospecting. :) Review: Absolutely stunning piece of equipment - This is a fantastic sluice. Long enough to recover the fines, portable enough to pack in for miles. I have found that it will fit in my backpack along with all my other bits and bobs after a bit of reshuffling. When I get to a good prospect, out it comes. Setup is literally 1, 2, 3 (and 4). Open it up (self locking), attach the flair (wing nuts), put it in the water (comes with a one page how-to if you need it) and start moving dirt. Cleanup is just about the same as another modern sluice. Remove the frame with the riffles (one wing nut for each -- there are 2), pull out the expanded metals and carpets and clean in a bucket. Nothing difficult, even I can use it. Very worth the price. ## Features - Folding Stream Sluice - Fits neatly within a 5-gallon bucket or backpack - Folded Dimension: 4-1/8" x 9" x 15-1/8" - Unfolded Dimension: 50" x 9" x 2-1/2" deep - Flare: 13-3/4" wide ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003DVEHC0 | | Brand Name | Royal | | Color | black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (75) | | Date First Available | March 24, 2010 | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 16.3 x 10.5 x 6.6 inches | | Manufacturer | Royal | | Package Weight | 7.8 Pounds | | Part Number | abc-12031 | ## Images ![Royal Folding Backpack Sluice Box - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aEbm7oCqL.jpg) ![Royal Folding Backpack Sluice Box - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DxJupC02L.jpg) ![Royal Folding Backpack Sluice Box - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-5-39vRVL.jpg) ![Royal Folding Backpack Sluice Box - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51l63KqbkgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: tell me please,i'll need to buy Sluice mat?or he comes with Folding Backpack Sluice Box** A: This Sluice is not sold with "Miners Moss", it is indoor outdoor carpet.

One of the folding components was misaligned and it took some adjusting and physical force to fully open up the product. Also the unlocking mechanisms require a bit of force from a solid object, like a screw driver to unlock and refold the unit. -These discrepancies should have been checked by the manufacturer's quality control. Aside from that, the unit is a wonderful tool, and the portability of its folding components allows it to fit in a backpack with the rest of panning equipment and is easy to transport. The materials within the unit seem to be of sturdy and good quality and work well and with much ease in the running stream. ***I strongly recommend also purchasing the "Recirculating Head" kit, which is great for working in areas where a strong stream of water is not available. ## Frequently Bought Together - Royal Folding Backpack Sluice Box - Garrett Gold Guzzler Bottle 1650300, Plastic - ASR Outdoor Rubber Riffled Gold Sluice Box Matting for Gold Recovery, 27x10 inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/4716989-royal-folding-backpack-sluice-box](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/4716989-royal-folding-backpack-sluice-box) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
