Note To Self #1

[CladDog]

1. The next time you take the Compadre to the beach
2. To do jewelry hunting in the dry sand
3. And you decide to set your discrimination just below IRON to pick up thin gold chains
4. Please remember to bring a fine sand sifter
5. As most of your targets are going to be so small
6. They are going to fall through the holes of your sand scoop
7. And you will spend the next ten minutes trying to find the blasted target!!

I love this little machine.

you may want to try a rake as well to snag the chains, but I hear you on that small stuff, like Iron BB,s

 

[CladDog]

Yeah, it's the little flakes of iron and aluminum that get you. A rake wouldn't help. Going back tomorrow and taking a plastic trowel with me for the really small stuff. That should help.

Check out kids sandbox/beach toys. Those kits with the scoop and bucket usually have a plastic sand sifter. Should be ideal for what you are doing.

That is exactly what I got today! Spot on!

Some times I just grab a hand full of sand and wave it over my coil and work from that hand full... KEN. Ind
