Dream Mat Elite Gold Prospecting Mini Sluice Mat 6×16 Black

Description

Product Overview

The Dream Mat Elite Gold Prospecting Mini Sluice Mat is engineered for both amateur hobbyists and seasoned professionals who demand consistent, high‑yield gold recovery in a compact form factor. Measuring 6 inches by 16 inches and constructed from rugged polypropylene (PP), the mat offers a lightweight yet resilient surface that endures the abrasive forces of mineral processing. Its core innovation lies in the vortex‑cell design, a series of miniature hydro‑cyclone inspired chambers that generate controlled turbulence, allowing fine gold particles to settle while larger nuggets are trapped in dedicated holding cells. The mat operates on a small battery pack, eliminating the need for external power sources and enabling portable deployment in remote locations. Detailed specifications include a package weight of 0.55 kilograms, dimensions of 16.97 × 6.5 × 0.94 inches, and a battery‑powered operation mode that ensures consistent performance across a range of prospecting setups, from high‑bankers to stream sluices.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Mini Sluice Mat excels in a variety of prospecting environments. In high‑banker rigs, the mat can be placed directly beneath the sluice box, capturing gold that would otherwise pass through the screen. For trommel operations, the mat’s 1/4″‑3/8″ screen compatibility ensures optimal fine‑gold capture while still retaining larger particles. When used in stream sluicing, the mat can be deployed unclassified, allowing natural water flow to pass through the vortex cells and concentrate gold without the need for additional classification equipment. Its battery‑powered nature means it can be positioned in remote locations without access to mains electricity, making it ideal for back‑country prospecting trips. The mat’s compact size also facilitates easy transport in a backpack, and its durable PP construction resists corrosion from water and mineral exposure, ensuring a long service life even under harsh field conditions.

FAQ

What size particles can the Dream Mat Elite Mini Sluice Mat capture?

The mat is engineered to recover both fine gold (down to 0.1 mm) and larger nuggets up to several millimeters in size. The vortex cells create micro‑turbulence that allows fine particles to settle while larger pieces are trapped in the holding chambers.

Do I need a separate battery pack for the mat?

Yes, the mat requires a small rechargeable battery pack that is included with the product. The battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation, and it can be recharged via standard USB‑C chargers, making field charging straightforward.

Can the mat be used with a standard sluice box?

Absolutely. The Dream Mat Elite Mini Sluice Mat is compatible with most standard sluice boxes and can be placed directly under the riffles. Its 6‑inch width fits most commercial and hobbyist equipment without modification.

How do I clean the mat after a prospecting session?

Cleaning is simple: rinse the mat with clean water to remove sediment, then use a soft brush to dislodge any remaining particles. Because the material is polypropylene, it will not degrade from regular washing.

Is there a warranty on the Dream Mat Elite Mini Sluice Mat?

Yes, the mat comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If any issues arise, contact our support team for a replacement or repair, ensuring you stay productive in the field.
