Gold Prospecting With a Sluice Box

I got a chance to go see the Yankee Fork gold dredge this fall when I was working in Idaho. It was powered by two 350 horse Ingersoll-Rand, 7 cylinder diesel engines, burning 400 to 500 gallons of fuel a day. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The picture of the old gold dredge is there because I like it.
There is a sort of sluice box inside it.
