Been looking at this lightweight folding sluicebox as a potential option for pushing deeper in to the bush with a bit easier. Any opinions on how good it might be, potential problems, etc?

Apparently it's off the market at present as they're making a new version the riffles can be removed from for easier wash-up.

I should imagine / hope the plastic is pretty durable so shouldn't crack too easily when throwing material in.

Cheers,
Gav

Interesting device that Le Trap, but think I'll try and stick with a sluice box for now as probably easier to process a bit more material ;)

Then again, seems to claim that it can process large amounts of material quickly - http://www.lifestylestore.com/ls_goldpan_5084.html - can't image it'd be as good as a sluice box though!?
