New Gold Pit™ Sniping Sampling Gold Panning Scoop.
A. Made of sturdy ABS. In Green or High Contrast Blue
B. Recessed Channel to direct and isolate gold as you agitate the scoop back and forth
C. The GOLD PIT™ Helps trap gold after you have worked most of the dirt out of the front of the scoop over the riffles and into your hand. Most nuggets close to 1 gram will easily be found as you move the dirt out of the front of the scoop. They will stay behind the riffles.
If the gold is small, once you have a small amount of dirt left that will fit in the PIT, incline the scoop at a 45 degree angle and continue to agitate. This will direct the gold and backwards in the Recessed Channel where the gold drops into the GOLD PIT™.
The inside of the GOLD PIT™ has a unique checkered pattern molded into a high angled incline that keeps the gold in the PIT. Once the small amount of dirt is in the PIT, hold the scoop level and start gently bumping the front of the scoop against your hand. Tilting the scoop forward will make the material in the PIT come out faster. Tilting it back will make it come out slower. Remember to stop and agitate the scoop so the gold settles to the bottom of the GOLD PIT™.
D. Squared off front edges allow you to easily scrape your dirt into a pile.
E. Progressive riffles catch any gold as you tilt the scoop forward to empty excess overburden into your hand.
A lot of U.S. sniping involves breaking open cracks and cleaning out the gravels then panning the gravel for gold.
In our areas here in the U.S. we do a lot of this in desert areas in gullies that are dry, but during the monsoon season these areas flood. Then summer comes and it's 110F and there isn't a drop of water to be found.
Therefore if you are going sniping, you need to bring your own water. That makes the amount of water you have to use precious. Well with a gold pan you are talking about a pretty substantial amount of water. But if you use a gold pan just as a drip pan under the Gold Pit Scoop, the Scoop takes very little water for you to quickly sample gravel for gold.
In the U.S. sniping does not always refer to finding gold in water, it basically means finding gold in any cracks where water is running or has ran in the past.
What do members think of the design of the scoop as it is rather unique?
