I don't see a stream and the water he's using sure is muddy, so It looks like he's "recirculating" the water from a catchment of some sort under the rockerbox.

LipCa 315 Posted August 31, 2017 If you look in the background just above his bucket/can, sure looks like running water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,145 Posted September 1, 2017 To me it looks more like a steep change in the land like a shovel or pick cut line in the lay of the land. Could certainly be water as it tails to the left of the picture from the pail. Still think it is a cut in the contour of the land though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishing8046 208 Posted September 16, 2017 Whatever he is digging ins out of the picture because he would not set up where he would need to turn his wheel barrel around...A picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desertpilot 348 Posted September 16, 2017 Would be cool to go old school in Greaterville and try a rockerbox. Looks to be slow going though, but wonder if it would handle the clay better? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
