Step 6: Making a Mobile Coin Sifter - Completed!
G'day Guys,
You can use this for hunting Coins, Rings, Jewellery, anything! I have had great success in junky areas!
I decided to make myself a little toy to hopefully make my Metal Detecting Hobbie a bit more easier... when out in the Australian Bush and also down the Beach, I have named it "The Shermanator" (Sherman is my surname, my first name is William ... For all you Civil War Buffs, there was a very famous American General in the American Civil War named General William Sherman.
Anyhow, I made this today and here is my Step by Step guide to making it! I made it after writing this water sieve question
I made this because it will be great for many uses, whether being on the Beach, on a old road or out the bush and many more examples.
Obviously it is not allterrain, but the small trolley can be attached to a Four Wheel Motorbike.
This will in my opinion make my detecting experiences so much easier.
The trolley will be used to carry all my equipment to my detecting location. Such equipment as my Metal Detectors, Food, Water, Camera, all my little Detecting Accesories, First Aid Kit.
Easy, now all I need to do is pull the trolley and not cart around all the other stuff on my back!
The trolley is also completely detachable to fit in my car for long journeys.
The Sieve is securely attached to the trolley and it lifts up and down for storing stuff and also to work the sieve easier and can be easily removed for water detecting, yes it floats.
The sieve will be great for finding all coins, jewellery, rings, and larger items such as old bottles when digging around old bottle grave yards.
I am sure you can get similar type Trolleys in the USA, Europe, UK etc, go to your local Garden Centre or Handy Man Centre - Walmart etc.
All up it cost me $200 Aussie Dollars to make, thats approximately $140 USD.
