In slow-moving water, your dream mat needs a steady flow to keep from getting \"loaded\" or buried in heavy sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flare catches water from a much wider area and forces it into the narrow channel of your sluice. This increases the total volume and pressure of the water. This extra flow ensures that heavy sands are washed away while the gold settles safely into the mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bottom Line: By widening the intake, you compensate for low water speed. This keeps your gold prospecting setup running at peak efficiency so you don't have to stop and manually clear your mats. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prospectors Dream","offers":[{"title":"6\" Sluice Box Flare","offer_id":51657904652586,"sku":"6-SLUICE-FLR","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Sluice Box Flare","offer_id":51657904685354,"sku":"8-SLUICE-FLR","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\" Sluice Box Flare","offer_id":51657904718122,"sku":"10-SLUICE-FLR","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" Sluice Box Flare","offer_id":51657904750890,"sku":"12-SLUICE-FLR","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7103\/3642\/files\/8f308e78-e564-4e5f-96ff-7ea3d2bd75e8.jpg?v=1780948271","url":"https:\/\/equipmentleader.com\/products\/sluice-box-flared-header-dream-mat-gold-prospecting-equipment","provider":"Equipment Leader","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
