Why this is the kit

A full 5-gallon bucket of rock is often already over the 25-pound daily cap. The bucket is for sorting and carrying a legal take, not for proving you can fill it.

Lid keeps goatheads and dust out of the cab. A milk crate keeps the bucket from kicking over when the washboard starts.

Field habit

Weigh or heave-test before you leave the wash. If it feels like a water-heater element, dump the waste rock back where it came from. See how heavy 25 pounds is.
