[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 611405, member: 7270"] The rocker used by Yobskin (Gympie Qld) had one hand operated bilge pump which also moved the rocker at the same time it pumped into a spray bar over the sieve. It had a sieve in the top of the cradle and he would stop throw some dirt in the sieve and start pumping/rocking. Didn't seem to be an issue stopping and starting. He got some nice gold from fines to pickers. Images I've seen of the old timers had them pouring water into the rocker cradle using a scoop...suggesting they would have to stop and start the water flow. Maybe Dustin can address this issue of stop start water flow. [/QUOTE]
