Thumbs up The Shermanator Sifter Does It Again!

Gday Guys,

Well I found myself a small bottle dump a few days back and I decided to explore for some old bottles, digging around I found myself I few old coins, and I thought, I might as well go back home and get The Shermator Sifter I made and explore for some more coins!

Anyhow I spent around 5 hours over the last two days using the Shermator and not the detector, with some great results!

Really happy with my finds, gives me encouragement to use the Shermator more! It was hard work, dusty and hot, but worth it.

Way to go Billy. A buddy of mine found a 5 dollar gold piece digging in a shallow dump.

I like that sifter Billy. I made one for the beach a few years back but don't use it much anymore. Once I got a pinpointer, I found it as easy or easier to use it. Here a picture. It's about 2 feet by 9 inches. It's all plastic, so I could run the coil over it to see if I had the target.
