Interesting shovel design

I could see this being either a scoop, or a classifier as it seems to be here

Nah.
Between the pink cowboy hat, the dinner plate scoop, and the rock to set your gold on I'm out.
Shovel is kinda neat I guess but I like to pick up all of my material not just the oversized.

jcazgoldchaser,
Thanks for posting this video! And I thought us gold prospectors had it rough, sorting by eye wow. It seems the gems they are looking for are heavier than the other stones in that giant pan but all the squatting and tension on the back muscles, my my!

The shovel is interesting especially for places with smaller rocks but again the toll on the arms/shoulders and the back is significant. Seems any type of mining is back breaking work and not a recreational hobby...........................63bkpkr
