Collapsible Buckets

[KevinInColorado]

GrizzlyGoldTrap........I ordered a Rothco collapsible canvas water bucket from amazon to carry screened feed material to my dry washer. A steel ring keeps the top open (it pretty much stands on it's own when empty and folds to about 1"). It is about 9" inside diameter/10" tall but they have a larger one that is 11"/13". Maybe the larger one will suit your purpose too(?).

Got a link to buy that bucket?

Hi G-bone,

I have been working on a backbacking kit for prospecting with the GGT Nugget also - the bucket I got was a heavy duty 2 gallon bucket -- Infusion Living Collapsible Bucket, Stainless Steel and Silicone. Seems sturdy enough for backpacking, but of course it will prove out after a few more outings. Had it out once and it worked OK. Was large enough to also use for clean out of Nugget. The company makes a variety of compact buckets:

Here is the one I got:

Let me know what you end up using...

Do they make a lid for it?

I guess they are O.K. BUT you can't turn it over and sit on it , can you!

The question is can I put a classifier on top?

 

[G-bone]

been a while since I've been here, and looks like I've missed quite a bit.

I have been using these:
Water Bucket Pail Canvas New Collapsible 2 Gallon Olive Drab Green 11" x 9 1/2" | eBay

I bought 4 of them and they work wonderfully.
Each one is 2.5 gal and are very strong.
Classifying seems to be ok as well, with the right technique.
I collapse all 4 and strap together for a very nice and compact bundle for transport.
These things have been bullet proof for the last year + and cheap too.

I would be concerned about the handle on those Silicone buckets once they get 10 to 15 lbs of dirt in them and the flex they may encounter.
And sharp rocks will cut that silicone eventually.

Cheers

I can't believe you guys are still trying to rethink the bucket... Lol...
