Glass Vials 1/2 oz & 1 oz.

Snuffer Bottles

Snuffer bottles are used to suck fine gold out of your pan, squirt black sands out of your way and to hold your pickers and nuggets while out on the stream. Made of flexible plastic, they won’t break if dropped on the rocks and float if dropped in the water.

The siphon tube on a snuffer bottle extends into the body of the bottle, in addition to a rubber grommet so once gold gets in, it cannot flow back out.

Snuffer Bottles (2 pcs)

Price: $3.00 x 2

Metal Jewelers Loupe

The chrome finish 15mm Metal Jewelers Loupe offer 10x maginification which is more than enough for checking out specimens in the field. These pocket magnifiers fold up small to protect the lense and fit easily in pack or pocket. They can also be attached to a cord or chain and worn around the neck.

You can find higher quality loupes online, but many run $40 to $100+ each! That said, our loupes do everything you’d expect from a more expensive model at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Made from heat treated carbon steel to a surface hardness of Rc 50 – 55 and a depth of .030 inches, the picks are then tempered, giving these tools outstanding wear resistance and durability. Each pick is fitted with an American Hickory handle which is both wedged and pinned to the head. A small button magnet is attached to the end of the handle for picking out small pieces of ferrous trash. Three sizes are available: a 16” handle, a 24 " handle and a 35” handle. The 16” is a perfect size for wearing on the belt, while the larger 24” can also be worn on the hip or slung across the shoulder.
