5-gallon bucket kit
The bucket is the container and the warning. A full 5-gallon bucket of agate or geodes is often already near the daily cap. Lid on, crate under it so it does not dump in the truck.
- One bucket you will actually weigh, not three you will forget.
- Screens stay in a separate crate. Screens.
- Leave the dirt in the wash. Pack out the sample, not the hillside.
The kit to buy
One bucket, one screw lid, one crate. That is the kit. A full bucket of agate is often already the daily cap, so do not buy three.
- Bucket and lid:
Bucket and lid. A full one is often the daily cap. Open the listing 5-gallon bucket with Gamma seal lid. The screw lid is what keeps the wash dust out of the truck.
- Lid only, if you already have a Homer or Leaktite bucket: Gamma2 seal lid. It fits 3.5- to 7-gallon utility buckets.
- Screens sit on that same bucket. SE 13.25 inch classifier set, 1/2 inch through 1/20 inch. The 1/2 and 1/4 are the ones you will use. See screens.
A milk crate under the bucket keeps it upright. Any standard crate from a farm store works. Do not pack the dirt home.
