Cool design. I might try one some time. That looks like the same material I used but my roll was 36" wide. I have made 3 and have plenty left over. Thanks for the pic.

Outstanding video. Big thanks for taking the time to put it together.
I've not seen those. I'll have to look for them. I can think of several uses for them. Thanks for posting.Hey!
Last year I got one of these plastic baskets used for gardening. I zip tyed some pool noodles around the edge and it floats pretty well.
It's sturdy, and the holes are small enough to catch most coins and things. I also like that it has folding feet for when you're on shore, and the handles so you can use it like a basket and carry your gear.
They're sold at lee valley in Canada, maybe US too?

I'll likely make one for my trip to NC this summer...but if you have a scoop, is this really useful? The sand should sift through the holes in the scoop. Is this more for people using non-holed scoops or shovels?
You can take a few scoops and just dump it directly onto the sifter. No need to shake the scoop in the water. I usually just dump 3 or 4 scoop fulls onto it and keep hunting for the next target. Once in a while I'll check the sifter for a glint of gold. The more targets and the faster I recover them = greater chance of gold
