If you're looking for some effective miners moss / carpet type material for trapping the gold in your sluice box check out the vinyl loop type door mats you can find in hardware stores.

The one photographed was found in Bunnings Warehouse. Cut to a snug size for your sluice box it seems to be very effective!
