We heard from our friends in the National Caves Association how successful a mining sluice could be. After attending an NCA Convention, seeing a sluice in action and visiting with Woody, we decided to have Sandy Creek design and build a mining sluice that would fit our attraction. Our sluice was completed in January 1999 and it only took 4 months for the profits to pay for the construction! The mining sluice is very popular with families and school groups, easy to maintain and has proven to be a great addition to our attraction. In fact it has been so successful for us, that in 2006, we decided to tear it down and build a sluice twice as big! Sandy Creek has been easy to work with, promptly delivers all orders and continues to provide a great product for a good price.
