FLIP BOX QUESTION....

... For you lakers, could you show some pics of the flipbox you use? I'm going to make one up and am just scrounging for ideas.
 
Are you refering to a floating sifter?
 
Sorry, I guess I got the terminology wrong. Some people also call them screen boxes.
 
Check out this old post from back when I made a very cheap,(but works great)sifter. This post is from China -clipper his pic . was clearer than mine. About 5.00 to 6.00 dollars to build. Tie a rope to your belt and away you go. Would not use in rough water unless you empty it as you find each item.

Ok, here's mine. I made this last year, and used it to search an old swimming hole that dates back to the 1870's.

The only thing I would do differently, if I make another one, is to not use hardware cloth for the sifter. Some of the targets I was pulling out were not readily identifiable, like fired bullets. I would have just used my Vibraprobe to get them, but, the hardware cloth makes that a bad idea.
 
Thanks for the ideas, fellas
