**** Price now REDUCED on the "Prospector" model !!! Over 80 Hopper Rock-IT units sold to date If you are thinking about, or just getting into GOLD prospecting...a few thoughts. Gold is way over $1000 per ounce! Could t ever be a better time to start? Now, you can either assume that the more you spend on mining equipment the more gold you will get, OR you can realize t is a learning curve to successful gold prospecting like anything else. Does it make any sense to spend more money on efficient, versatile prospecting tools than you really need to until you know what the heck you are doing...? An interesting fact is that the Hopper Rock-IT rocker sluices are selling mostly to experienced miners and prospectors. Why, because they recognize the logic, simplicity, versatility, and value in a modern rocker box design. Why not take advantage of their experience. This listing is for the Original Hopper Rock-IT aluminum Rocker style sluice ( now called the ‘PROSPECTOR’ model ) .Identical in design and function to the larger "Miner" model, the 'Prospector" Hopper Rock-IT is the perfect sampling and light production gold concentrator for seasonal creeks, remote areas, desert washes w only puddles are found....wver any water source is available. If a bucket can be filled with water then you have a water source for the "Rock-IT". Primary points to consider: - Great portability. Weighs just 8 pounds and is less expensive, and is easier to carry than a recirculating sluice. - Sets up on the bank. This extends your prospecting season into those colder water months, and satisfiies environmental issues regarding muddy water re-entering the water way. - Use w seasonal creeks are drying up...use w t isn't even enough water to pan. - Concentrate 3-5 times more material per day than just using a gold pan. - Saves your back and knees from so much bending over the creek while using just a gold pan as a concentrator. Home owners with a seasonal creek, this is the perfect tool for getting that gold from your own property! The Hopper Rock-It rocker style sluices set up on the bank, or gravel bar OUT OF THE WATER, making it the most versatile water based gold concentrator available for the money. No more bending and kneeling at the edge of the creek to pan your gold bearing materials. The "Prospector",weighing just 8 lbs, will concentrate 3-5 times more material per day than just using a gold pan, and do it while satisfying the 'environmental" concerns associated with muddy water. You can also recapture water (recirculating) as the first photo shows. Portability, versatility, and value in a prospecting/mining tool that can be used in places you wouldn't consider carrying heavier equipment...and using less water,as well. The ideal mining/prospecting tool for club outings,the casual prospector, or for testing those remote places you have always wondered about. The Hopper Rock-IT "Prospector" model is complete with an extended bucket upon which the unit is used. This versatile tool is easy to use, knocks down and carries in its own provided bucket , or your pack, and can be used at the truck or as remote as you care to go. New on both models of the Hopper Rock-IT sluice are easy slide-in brackets for the rear rocker foot, and an alternate bungee location. Can be used in recirculating mode as well. A simple,efficient sensible prospecting tool for novice and veteran miner alike. The Hopper Rock-IT makes the perfect special occasion gift. Get in on the modern GOLD RUSH ! We get lots of great comments regarding the Hopper Rock-IT sluices from purchaser/users of our rocker style sluice. R. Nichols’ comments are particularly telling. On October 22, Mr. Nichols sent us this unsolicited e-mail from the Mother Lode country in California....." Took out the rocker box and got a lot of very fine gold that I miss by panning or even with the Le Trap… ..I know this gravel bar pretty well. Lots of black sand heavies with flood gol... read more
