    I've been watching these vids for 2 years and I've been out panning 10 times and every time I see you pull a nice piece out I understand and appreciate the hard bloody work and hours that went into finding it.
    Cheers to our backbreaking hobby though.

    Even though you didn't find any fines, it's good that you did the test. In my area, whenever I find a nugget metal detecting, it is always accompanied by fines, sometimes in crazy amounts. It is definitely worth a test every time you find something with your metal detector, even if it's just a test pan,

    A quick idea for a mod on the rocker box instead of scouping water into it what about using one of your big buckets with a plug in the bottom that you can get a full bucket of water to sit on the top and pull the plug as you rocket it & even might be able to add more scoups of dirty depending how quick the water runs out? Just a thought

    Hello Chris, nice vid ;) Since you had started experimenting with making diy gold finding/separating equipment.. I always wonder, if you could prefect the rocker box.. First of all, I would had thought that since the rocking part is pretty much from left to right, it might be interesting to put some sort of vortex mats in it, and maybe to have miners mose as the first layer? The carpet works as a friction catcher, so i would think, it could be better using some sort of more efficient mat? Just a thought..

    Great vid.
    There is something slightly romantic about busting out the home made rocker box and sloshing a bit of dirt through it with a ladle from a muddy puddle? Is there a drawn plan for your favorite rocker box design or are they all mostly the same design? Have you tried using different carpets in the bottom section of the rocker box?
    I like your tiny gold pan. Did you 3D print it or somebody print it for you?
