Here's my floating sifter. I made it myself:)

I had to revise and add another layer of floaties. I bought 2 of those long flaotie tubes so had plenty for the 2nd addition. Also I added zip ties to hold the floaties in place.

This works great as all you have to do is scoop and dump into the water sifter:)

you can pick up screen at any hardware store...I went to Menards. Do 2 layers with the 2nd layer slightly off center of the 1st layer as to catch the small bling:)

Don't think I've got any pictures of my old one, but instead of the inner tubes being used back then I cut 3" PVC to fit around the basket glued up using four 90s with expanded metal (1/8" holes). Lasted 5 years, willed it to my hunting buddy in California :icon_scratch: think he used it for another 2 or 3 years.
