Thanks for posting. We might try one out. We have a device that we use that seems more laborious than this. If we try it out, I'll let you know.

They are pretty flexible and easier to get out of a vac than the bag type that have a heavy metal band. They may not fill out all the way to the edge on some vacs.

I must correct myself, I also use the rubber bucket version I got the prospector confused with it.

I haven't used "The Prospector," but I have made a sifter that works well, and even with that if I don't clean the vacs every single day and sift for coins, it's useless. I just dump it all in the trash now.

We purchased enough for 3 of our locations and never followed up with our attendants to see if they liked them or not. One thing I do remember was that they fit snug in I believe IVS vacs. They fit perfect in JE Adams.

The car wash on the other end of town bought one. He said it was to labor intensive and messy.

The product website claims $400 in 6 months. I'm naturally skeptical about marketing claims, so would discount this by 50%. So $200 over 6 months, or about $8 per week. Personally, I think I can put my time and effort to other improvements that would return better than $8 per week.
