Default Sifter
My brother made this for me from scraps in his garage. About 12" x 16". Works great when I'm not worried about making a neat hole.Name: sifter.jpg Views: 465 Size: 34.1 KB

I dig the plug, scan the hole, place sifter over hole, place plug in sifter, gently break apart plug with plastic trowel and shake. The first time I used it I heard a "clink" while shaking and found my first quarter. Im planning on using it along an old stone fence that runs through the woods on my property. Don't have to worry about neat holes out there.

Either paint or seal the wood. It will last mucho longer for you and your brother will know you appreciate him by taking care of it.

I'll probably end up using some deck stain on it.
