Hi all,
This is a selection of tools I use when out working crevices and other nooks and crannies.
I also have a selection of pans and two bucket sieves I have made. I also have some knee pads, (old knees feel the rocks) a couple of pair of gloves, and some crocs, don't need gumboots up here..
I am putting up the pic so that people new to the game can get an idea of the kind of tools that can be easily found around the house and be used for getting into small spaces to open them up and get at the pay dirt.
When I go out, I usually use a small "Army" entrenching tool, about 18 inches long with folding pick and shovel blade. I also carry a larger shovel and mattock pick in the car to assist moving the bigger stuff.
I will be adding a small /narrow dust pan, ($2 plastic gutter cleaning scoop that would fit in some tight places)...
The bottom left of the photo is a small bag that has a notebook, first aid kit and snakebite bandages, and small plastic container that any interesting rocks go into.
The small item at the bottom of the photo is a crab claw picker, found it in an op shop for 0.50c, great for getting in the small holes...
I keep all this gear in a small canvas carry bag when not strewn around a rock pile.
Let me know if anything is missing or you have questions on what anything is.
Cheers Tone
