What's your choice for a cleanup tool & why?

Sluice for rough concentration from a dredge,highbanker or drywasher op. A wheel with a hole through the middle can be made to work allright with 3 size classifications and two runs on each of the 3 sizes. And the blue DAM Indusrties bowl is for 50-300 mesh final gold cleanup that the wheels,green bowls,microsluices,Goldcube and other goldfarbs miss. Each has it's own place and time for use.John

I use all three my favorite is the Calif sluice.I like the wheel ok.I hate the blue bowl cant seem to get it to work right.I classify everything to 4 sizes 1/16 30 50 & 100 mesh.Save everything and rerun it when I cant get out and dredge its a good excuse to drink beer and hide from the wifey.

None of the above. A sluice is really not a "clean up" because you then go to a pan. The Blue Bowl and wheel are expensive ways to PAN, which is my choice for clean up.... A PAN. TTC

A 5 minute response time is not an option when I must make a choice in about 5 seconds!

A PAN. TTCYou are correct TTC the cali sluice is just a concentrater but makes it a whole lot easier to pan the dredge cleanup.
Funny how we spend hundreds or thousands just to end up using the tool that came first and been virtualy unchanged.

I still prefer the miller table for cleanup.
And then mercury and a retort for the really small stuff.

I have a blue bowl and I have used it a few times but I still seem to pan almost all of my concentrates,I enjoy it for the most part. it can get tedious but I got some cool ways I have learned over years to make my gold DANCE in the pan...But I suspect if I was getting more then a 5 gallons of concentrate a day then I would have no choice but for now I am still of a simple means so why not enjoy it.. But I admitt I do have some what of a stockpile of concentrate from here and there that been neglected (5 5gallon buckets 7 coffee cans) But it's almost April Who has time for gold already in their garage??

I'm with TerryC ...a pan is My post-sluice cleanup tool. Make those gold specks dance in the pan

I would think that a shaker table would be the way to go if you had a consistent source of buckets and buckets of concentrate.
For small amounts though panning works just fine, even for larger amounts if time is not an issue.
