The next set of rocker box plans I found is on a site titled "Bill's Rocker Box." He has a great old photo showing two pioneer ladies with a rocker box. They're somewhere in pine country. Yes, the ladies prospect, too. If I were going to build a new rocker box, these are the plans I personally would prefer. It is simple and he has what amounts to two sets of plans. He has photos arranged step by step so a visual person could probably make one from that. But he also has wonderfully drawn plans below that. I give it an A+. The one I built is just too heavy, but works well.
At the bottom of the page is a link to his prospecting site.

A Treasure of Free Gold Prospecting Equipment Plans and Commentary-- I gold prospected in Arizona 15 years. Am on a budget working on success mining. If you want gas money, cut corners to get to the claims. I began homemade equipment in 2008. First just looked at other folks' equipment; copied on my own. Took tape measure to a meeting or an outing & measured parts. I looked for plans on the Net. Posting commentary on free plans is offered. URLs are here too.
