Parker's Klondike Trail Rockerbox is a rocker box washplant of the oldstyle, used by the Klondike Gold Rush miners. It was built during season 7.5, Gold Rush: Parker's Trail, when the crew made shore on the Yukon River after passing Bennett Lake and the locks (at the Perseverance Claim) near Minto. It was built from trees, a cut up paddle for riffles, and a cut up sweater for the carpeting. The rockerbox operates with less water than a sluicebox by rocking the mud out with less water, settling the gold. It still contains a sluice box, but it is rocked manually.
