If you’d like to make a bit of extra cash, find rare minerals, or maybe just give your hands a rest from the shovel minigame, then maybe you should consider getting a Prospecting sluice. What are these tools? How do they work? That’s what we’re here to explain.
You can play Prospecting now on Roblox. If you’re interested in some more content for the game, perhaps take a look at our Prospecting pans guide.
Prospect Sluice Guide
What Is A Sluice?
A sluice is a tool in Prospecting that lets you passively gather up ores. You buy one and set it down in a water course, (if its stats allow you to put it there). Once its down, the sluice will slowly gather up materials over time. Head out and come back, and you should find some minerals to pick up without having to minigame for them. It even collects while you’re offline. How useful!
