Sluice Box Plate

The sluice box plate is a crucial component of a sluice box, serving as the bottom plate where gold and other heavy minerals settle after water has washed away the lighter materials. It is typically made of durable material such as stainless steel or plastic to withstand the constant flow of water and debris. The plate's surface is usually textured or ribbed to facilitate the settling process and prevent gold from being carried over the edge by the water.
