That hopper is being sold by a guy named Roger. He sells on eBay by the name Maxfuz I got my proline from him he is a stand up guy and honest as day is long. He even shipped my dredge to Oklahoma in a 4x4x8 crate. I have bought several items from him.
 

well I can't see the money for these things and being a noob at this I ended up buy a open header box and got brain storming and thinking about it going to mount a cheap garrett plastic classifier on top like a hopper and use some of that 3/4" plastic pex piping and will make it go totally around on top spraying from the top and a steady flow of water running from the bottom at the same time, will show pics when i'm done

Like they say nessecity is the mother of invention. Way low water levels last year couldn't sluice. so I made a hopper had the pump and hoses. And we have run a 100 5 gal. buckets of dirt a day! Yes it just about killed us! The bucket holder was sheer luck no skill involved in that one! LOL!
