Hard to repack but good for novice panners! We've had hours of fun panning for minerals and gems!

I am both, new and lazy; therefore, I purchased this highly recommended product for people like me who want to minimize the efforts to find gold (as seen on the Shark TV Show).

Easy to use and when you find gold bearing material you get to see the gold in the recovery bowl

I drilled the exit holes on one side bigger, the cup in the bucket catches equal to what the home made sluice does. A lot of bigger pieces get through the bucket and are caught in the sluice. The bucket is great at catching super fine gold though. It does work, it could be better but it was worth buying. Just don’t overdue it, I’d say 3 full shovels max

I was sceptical at first but pulled the trigger one day on a whim. Then I saw a video on YouTube saying it was like a slush box without having a slush box. I was in. When it came I ran some paydirt I knew had gold in it and it did the job. All I had to do afterward was pan out the gold it captured.

Shipping was quick (to Australia) and the bucket was all together. Took it to a creek with my 7 year old son and he found gold with it so pretty happy. Packs up nicely into itself and seems pretty sturdy for general use.

Bought as a gift for my husband, He loved it for his 49er miner birthday. Recently move to gold country in Sierra Nevadas, wanted to learn to pan gold. The Nugget Bucket made it fun! Easy to work with, we learned to pan well enough to get balck dirt in pan. No gold this time but this product will keep us motivated to find another spot for prospecting. Easy to carry, assemble and use. Fits in a 5 gallon bucket and you can use the seat on it so you can sit while working the bucket- nice plus for us lazy folks. Thank you Mark for this cool little invention.

I purchased two of the Gold Rush Nugget Buckets for use later this season. My family is planning a road trip trough historic mining districts and we have a junior member who wants to try panning for gold.I have panned for gold in the San Gabriel Mountains, just for fun, mind you. I know that a sluice box will capture more gold, but they are bulky and heavy- and I don't want to invest in professional equipment just to have a bit of fun. When I saw the gold Rush NugBucket, I thought now THAT would be perfect for panning with kids!When my bucket(s) arrived I opened it up and checked out the inserts and other included items. I have to say the inventor thought of just about everything and made it all fit neatly into a compact unit! All the components are sturdy, and should last a good long time if kept together and cared for! I can't wait to start hunting some gold!I cannot yet comment on the efficacy of the unit, but from what I see, I am thinking we will catch gold fever very soon!!

Tanto el tiempo de espera como el estado del paquete y el objeto portado, se ajustan a lo prometido por el vendedor.El producto, aunque no representa una gran revolución, si es una buena idea ejecutada incluso aún mejor.Existen métodos de recuperación de oro mejores, pero ninguno es tan cómodo y fácil de llevar como este. La principal ventaja de este objeto, sobre otros, es que resulta muy cómodo y fácil de llevar.El cubo trae: una pala de mano, una batea pequeña, dos tamices, un cubo para echar agua y un manual de instrucciones (además del ingenio que facilita el depósito y conservación de los áridos densos). Con la tapa puesta, el cubo se puede emplear como un asiento improvisado.Otro elemento a tener en cuenta por cualquier persona interesada es que cuenta con una página web donde se pueden leer instrucciones de uso más detalladas; ver videos o hacer consultas al vendedor.Por último conviene destacar que mientras que el la página web oficial se vende el mismo artículo por 99 Dólares, aquí se puede comprar por 60 Euros. Desconozco el motivo de la diferencia de precio; pero es interesante.

I took the bucket out for a very quick evaluation. First of all, the unit is very well made and designed to store nicely. The bucket came with extra convenience items such as the little gold containers, magnet, tweezers, etc. Based on my prior experience using other process, I'm can tell that your unit is very well designed to capture all the gold. I did capture a little color, but need to go to more likely places where there is gold. I look forward to future trips using the Nugget Bucket. Your pricing is reasonable. Your design of this package is excellent. Thank you.

Family fun in a bucket!We've used this bucket multiple times and had a lot of fun going out looking for gold. Haven't found any yet, but hey, it's the search that's the fun. My kids, 5 & 9yo enjoy putting dirt in the top and adding the water. It definitely takes an adult to do all the steps, but that just makes it a team effort.Really looking forward to taking this with us this fall on an East Coast to West Coast and back trip!
