[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 35840, member: 1375"] Hey call me a cheapskate but a very basic kit that travels with me everywhere is ..... a nursery/Bunnings type shopping basket (great classifier) and hols the other stuff Builders trowel and (I think) pointing tool (they use it to smooth out the mortar between bricks) .... great for getting into crevices. A few, 4 actually, different size plastic scoops for obviously scooping up dirt/gravel or whatever you hope is holding the gold, different sizes help accessing narrower areas etc. And a 20l bucket or 2 ........ very basic but it does the job for collecting wash to bring home and put through the pan. The Garret, or probably any other brand that provides a "kit" seems a good option for a range of pans. Obviously more equipment is utilised when going on a planned trip to different areas, then the destination dictates what's taken, wet/dry, digging required, handpump required etc. Use the KISS principle. Cheers & good hunting, Tom [/QUOTE]
