Modern sluice boxes are made of steel, aluminum and plastic. Small sluice boxes used for prospecting and hand-digging operations are generally 10 to 18 inches across and 3 to 5 feet long.

The reason that riffles work is two fold. First, there is an eddy created behind each riffle, causing a temporary lull in the water flow. The material that is flowing is in a liquid state. This causes the heavies to be at the very bottom of the flow. As the flow passes over a riffle, the heavies will fall to the bottom behind a riffle.

The recommended spacing between riffles is twice the height. Measure from the top of the leading edge of the riffle down to the sluice and double that measurement as the spacing between riffles. That 2:1 ratio is the formula for creating the proper vortex between riffles. (provided the angle of the sluice and the flow are adjusted accordingly)
