Gold prospector working a rocker box near
Gold prospector working a rocker box near Virginia City, Montana Territory, in 1871. He pours water over the gravel in the top box, which when rocked back and forth will help to separate heavier gold dust from the sand and gravel. The device doubled the pace at which gold bearing gravel worked. Photo by William Henry Jackson, 1871
