How does a Gold Trap sluice work?

The sluice is placed in a moving stream of water and pay dirt is put into the upstream end of the sluice. The moving water washes the dirt through and out of the sluice, while the gold, which is much heavier than the rest of the material, is caught behind the riffles or in the matting.
