I took the A52S on my vacation last summer and loved it. I used it with the mini max conversations and my wife really enjoyed working with it. It is always good when I can say dame we build some good stuff.

Great to see you making these videos. A52 best sluice of all time...fact!

Hi guys just got a keene-A52 it was for sale on a website. It's in real good shape for being used. I did not know of your products. Iam a newbe but learning fast. I talked to mark, and he was very helpful to me. So Iam catching up on your ut videos. Looks like very nice stuff. I will be sending you guys' money often because I want to change this box around with all your accessories. Also, thanks for taking the time to talk to me. These days it means a lot to me, to be able to talk to the owners. Thank you Mark.

I have my 6.inch combo 4 inch with extended sluice.and my 4 inch dredges..plus my hibanker an the a52 sluice. Im good for all situations..in north carolina. Love all my KEENE PRODUCTS. THANKS GUYS .FOR ALL YOUR WORK IN KEEPING GOLD DREDGING ALIVE. TWIN 9S.ARE AWESOME

Spring pins on legs as well with holes be better than threaded bolts that can get grit in them

You are absolutely right it is disgusting how they are grabbing more and more land every day. Locking up gates more restrictions especially when they are using self-serving science. The truth is Keene Engineering does more than any other company out supporting organizations that are trying to make a difference. At one time we lead some of the organizations however sometimes people have other priorities. We will continue to provide support for the outfits that make a difference such as the AMRA and other worthy causes

Thanks Keene inc. Your products are top of the line. I just bought the A52super sluice. I'm seeing other videos were it looks like added V matting to the top of the flare. This doesn't look stock. Do you advise adding+glueing extra v mat to top of flare? Would it default the warranty? Thanks paulcormier29@ g mail com

@@pauly51 We keep going back and forth with the half and full mats all our testing was with the half matting and it worked great. I had several customer-requesting full matting in the flare so we did it. Then after a lot of feedback, the full matting slowed the material down and reduced the production. It simply slows the material down to much in some materials. So we are settling on the half matting.

Excellent work, boys!

Like the way you did many tests, awesome 👍👍

Good stuff ! Ya sluice looked like its workin good !

Awesome sluice box!

My buddy has this sluice and the first time i helped him run material with it i was impressed with the classifier especially the 1st lip where the water goes through the grizzly,it created a suction,almost like a mini venturi affect iu could lay my hand on top of it and feel the pressure forcing the classified material under it. Great sluice!

Awesome sluice. Just bought one directly.

Not an engineer but for all practical purposes it appears the front of the box should be higher looks to me as if there’s too much flow? I’d adjust for two inches of water flow inside box! Maybe I’m messed up just my opinion. Enjoy all of your videos Keene Brothers keep up good job!

Great equipment, amazing customer service. Keene engineering is amazing in eqhipment for the miner and prospector, and recreational gold seeker. Its great for anyone from beginner to professional. The amount of fine gold i recover is amazing. So that you Pat and Mark keene for making amazing products i live my A52 and A52S sluice. I canr wait to oreder and get my dry washer next.

I enjoy you guys figuring out the screens. Really cool to see that. I have one of your supper mini and it works great. And I'm also working on putting a screen on the flare. I have the design, need the materials and test it out. Thank you, you guys.

I really like when you Brothers talk real life and make technical suggestions on camera. Shows us the hard work and talent that goes into making your products.

Best sluice hands down ... Easy to set up and clean up... With the added benefit of being able to set up just about anywhere....

I will be looking forward to your videos. I am working on a bunch of videos for A52S add on now should have a KZread video next week

Nice !!!! 👍

Keep up the great work guys! I'm really looking forward to trying this grizzly out! I usually classify to 1" for my Keene sluices. If this mod can handle 1-3" rocks and retain more fine gold in the A52 , were in business! Do you guys have a prototype screen for the 3" combo unit? Ahh, maybe not enough water flow? Stewards of the Land, every prospecting video should end with that!

Hey Pat! Now you're getting it! Instead of having 1 product that does everything, offer multiple products that do one thing well and does it as good or better than the other guy. Experienced prospectors have different techniques for different condition, as carpenter, pipe fitters, welders..... wouldn't it be nice to have a welding machine that would handle any situation? It will never happen! Just like making 1 sluice for all occasions. Good luck! Ron

As a gold miner tool production company, you should be doing more with other production companies and help stop the damn government from shutting the water ways off from us prospectors. They’re grabbing more and more every day away from us.

Or allow less restrictive claims. Most people have jobs and won't find enough gold dust to pay for squat. No sense in blowing thousands on claims that guarantee the same as Jack squat. Prospecting is funner with a team. It's safer, and perfect outdoors activity away from city life...

M Z Very true. Non-profit clubs are the best way to get into claims with affordable annual dues, plus like minded people to have outings with. I just wish the GPAA would get better leases in Ohio. There are way better areas they can lease for members. Getting the access is the hardest part, but they can buy property.

Wow!

Guys it works great. Different mats work better with different flow...just find your flow and rhythm grab some shine and a fat rollie if your best ganja and go for it

I ordered this sluice and I am going to try it out in August. I am curious as to how well it compares with Fluid Bed Sluices such as the one made by Greenmountaingoldtrap and how well it captures fine gold compared to a Le Trap Sluice. I am pretty excited over not having to classify material: that alone increases the efficiency for time and effort spent. The return rate for total gold capture and minimizing the loss rate is also critical. Both the Greenmountaingoldtrap and Le Trap Sluices are very simple to do clean outs. The former has the advantage of just keeping the sluice in place in the river and the trap is taken out, cleaned and then put back in. So there is that as well: number of clean outs and ease of clean outs and whether or not the entire sluice needs to be removed.

I am sure you will love the new sluice box. We have had lots of feedback on 98% has been positive. Plus if you compare it to all the other sluice boxes the legs are a game changer. The only issues we have had is the main sluice does require lots of water when using the sluice and the box should be completely underwater to keep the rocks moving through the sluice. Big rocks do require more velocity to keep moving. The only other comments we have had is in slow water conditions you have to go back to a conventional sluice and you have to pre-classify. We had a few comments that the Miracle matting could bow up in the center so we one more change in the sluice we added a few bars to hold down the Miracle matting.

Hey that thing your transporting it on do you guys sell that?

See the test dog hard at testing with ya alli awesome

For some reason I cant read any comments? Really like the video am looking at purchasing this sluice. Hoping to see some feedback from others who have used it also :)

Do you guys make that cart? Im looking for a good cart to haul my equipment.

At 13:33 you mentioned "Trap" what kind of trap are you taking about? Are you talking about something like the Grizzly Gold Trap? Just to clarify so we all know what you're talking about.

A gold trap is riffle design that does not keep the material in a state of suspension. I was not referring to the grizzle gold trap.

Think some spring pins up top instead that clamping system be easier

Its a great box wish they sold them bare with the classifier. So people can build to they're environment needs. A 16 inch flairless with higher walls for buckets or barrows Would gulp the material up with that waterspeed.

I've been sitting on getting it patened but due to time and money etc. I gave up. I asked Travis Burks to get with you a while back about it. If not I guess it will die with me 😂🤷‍♂️

Great job guys,If so I would like to speak with one of you if possible ..Jaime

What creek is this

I bought a A52s. It came in boxes. You need to do a video from the boxes to assembly. It didn’t come with instructions

85 I have watched sluiceses running on magnets

Was more like a submarine then a sluice lol

Take the legs off and slower water, let the mats work with out all metal on top.

Wow. I was planning on buying a Keene sluice tomorrow, but now that I've seen this video I think I need to find another sluice. You guys just seem like a couple hacks who talk over each other and seem to lack the kind comprehensive or even fundamental scientific knowledge (hydrodynamics, etc.) that I assumed went into engineering sluices. Disappointing.

I like how you can't agree on anything. Real scientific. All trial and error. And you put this on the market. Really?

I think that your need to go back to start and try again, after buying this product it doesn`t matter what speed of water or the right site up this sluice doesn`t find gold, your moving rocks off of the screen with every shovel of material you place in the sluice, bad product. I have a Le trap that does the same, I can shovel into the sluice and at there isn`t every shovel I don`t have to remove the rock …………….

Hi this is Pat from Keene. I left you a message to call me for assistance. The water needs to be at the top of the sluice for it to have enough surface area to move larger rocks. You also need a lot of speed for the screen to work properly. The sluice needs a lot of energy to work effectively. There are many prospectors using this sluice with great results. Just maybe there is something different or just call so we can talk about improving for your area. I am very interested in giving you some customer support and maybe a modification. Regards

Stop talking and feed it ffs
