Default Bottle dump probe

This probe was made special for me by Charles.
It measures 44 inches long.
The shank is spring steel and will not break. The tip is needle sharp and inserts in the ground very easily.
The handle was carved from a tree branch.

Just the thought of the care that went in to making this probe for me means allot.

Edit: Added a 2x2 sifter with a rope handle made by me

Looks like it would work as a black bear poker if they get to close. Gotta love those multi function tools. Good to see some people posting. Jason

This is a jig I made to hold your coin for drilling those large Canadain pennies for making those coinrings. The instructios will be in the eastern,western may issue.Works real good on a drill press with a vise attachment.You use a 1inch bit and a 3/4 inch bite I drilled the 1inch about the 1/2 inch in and the3/4 all the way throught.

This a scoop I made from a avalanche shovel. Works great and it floats because of the wooden handle.

Great it looks like we got some good competition going. Nice post and great gear is starting to pile up. Someone is definately walking away with this fat silver ring. Jason

Default pinpointer

This is a pinpointer i made out of a metal/electricity finder, a piece of fiberglass fishing pole, wire, epoxy, and some bolts. I've adjusted it to pick up a copper penny at 1.25", a clad dime at 1.25", a clad quarter at 1.5", a single blade swiss army knife at 3", and a mason jar lid at 4".
