We get lots of positive comments from purchasers/users. R. Nichols unsolicited comments after his first outing.... "I took out the rocker box and got a lot of very fine gold that I miss by panning or even with the Le Trap (river sluice). Got the larger pieces too, but the fines were more abundant. The Hopper Rock-IT works real well."
Wayne from Tuscon, Arizona was planning to modify the 'Miner' model Hopper Rock-IT, until receiving his sluice. His unsolicited comments were as follows.... " After reading your book 'Recovering Placer Gold With A Modern Rocker Box Sluice' (the manual) I've decided that sticking with the basic setup as sent is the best way to go. Thanks for a sturdy, light rocker sluice!"

The two Hopper Rock-It models are the perfect combination sampling, prospecting and production mining tools that are light weight, portable, efficient, inexpensive and save the back and knees from bending and crouching over the creek. No other water based gold concentrator we know of can be used in a wider variety of prospecting/mining scenarios than the two Hopper Rock-IT models. Accomplish many times the production capacity of just using a gold pan, and do it where river sluices, highbankers and powered sluices may be inappropriate because of weight considerations, low water availability and remoteness…and do it without the physical strain of panning to concentrate those gold bearing materials. You can also use a backpack to carry our rocker sluice, then use the bucket to tote other prospecting essentials. The Hopper Rock-IT aluminum rocker sluice is at home on seasonal creeks, runoff trickles, left over desert puddles after rains, or at the truck…anywhere you can scoop water into a bucket. The Hopper Rock-IT "PROSPECTOR" model carries in the bucket supplied and rocks on the ‘Rock-IT’ platform provided in the kit. The buckets, which are provided, make it easy to stand (or sit) all day while using the Hopper Rock-IT. The quick slide out recovery tray under the classifier hopper cleans out in just seconds for quick testing. The main ribbed recovery carpet simply slides out for quick and easy final clean ups. You can pan your concentrates in a tub atop the ‘Rock-IT’ bucket,or in the creek.
