A floating sifter is a screened tray, framed in PVC, that floats on the water while you sift sand for shark teeth, fossils, shells, rocks, and gems. Ours are hand-built and come in several sizes, including two-handled and travel-size models.
Wade into shallow water, scoop sand into the tray, and let the water wash the sand through the screen â shark teeth, fossils, shells, rocks, and gems stay on top. Then pick out your finds and drop them in your jar.
You need four things: a floating sifter, a scoop, a jar for your finds, and a leash so nothing drifts away. Every Treasure Hunter Package includes all four â nothing else to buy.

Right here at FloatingSifter.com. We are based on Manasota Key in Englewood, Florida â just south of Venice â and every order ships free. Order ahead and your sifter arrives before your beach day.
