I'm the kinda guy that's always looking for a shortcut, an edge. I have to admit, this is a DAMN good idea! I always wanted to spend an entire season in the woods, only sifting. My goal would be to dig down up to 2 feet in different locations, and to see what comes up at those depths. What we can't reach with a detector. What kinda coinage do you think would be 2 feet deep?

That is pretty neat! Kind of reminds me of those trommels they use for gold prospecting.
Very cool machine. Makes me think of a lot of work.
I was looking up rocker boxes, as I want to build one again to start screening, and I saw this. Pretty ingenious to use it for relic hunting! A bit large for my tastes, but wondering if I could make a smaller one to lug out into the woods.

Iv seen smaller versions of the same idea used as coffee roasters over a gas grill. you can diffently sift a lot of dirt fast with that contraption.
