[QUOTE="TenOunce Tone, post: 16098, member: 288"] Looks ok for the shallow crevices Sh4ggs, what was it, an old Teaspoon? I am in the process of getting a bit of steel pipe so I can make Crevice Tool II.. I will make sure the finished product survives the bend test.. may even get some steel bar and reinforce the tip. Verticle crevices were only 1 - 2 cm wide at the widest, difficult to get into and get the dirt and gold out. The horizontal crack was no wider than 5 cm. this is the crack I was getting into.. The crack on the left went down at least 30 cm [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/288/1372422007_03_2013-06-18_09.32.24.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/288/1372422132_2013-06-18_08.47.00.jpg[/img] You can see some of the tools I use, there are two crevices in the bottom pic one was vertical and I could get down about 30 cm, the horizontal crack was 15 - 17 cm deep by the time I finished and the tool broke.. I did not have a decent brush and pan to get ALL the soil, I only had a small paintbrush, I will be putting a small dustpan and robust brush into the kit bag. Cheers, Tone [/QUOTE]
