Keene is one of the best known businesses in the gold prospecting industry, they’ve been making a variety of different equipment since the 60s. They have built a reputation for quality gear that will hold up to the rough abuse that mining brings.
The A52 is a good quality sluice that can really take material, it can handle two people shoveling material into it in our fast flowing New Zealand creeks. It catches the smallest specks of gold and handles the black sand around here very well and from what I can see very little if no gold escapes its riffles. It has the black fine riffles at the front for extremely fine gold recovery and good rear riffles which also catch fine gold. I doubt much escapes it. It’s lightweight and easy to carry to your desired spot. I added a strap on mine to make it even easier to carry. It’s built to last. You won’t be disappointed.

Very happy with my A52. Made a couple of mods – 150mm of ribbed rubber on the flair and unbacked miners moss between the carpet and the metal mesh. This allowed me to run a fast flow that cleared quickly but captured all the gold. On a recent trip I put a second sluice immediately below the A52 as a test. Got good gold in the A52 but not a single speck made it into the second sluice. You can’t ask for better than that.
