So the other night I was at home rowing and watching YouTube videos on fossils and I came across one from a young lady from England- I do not recall her name and am not sure if she is on the forum. I have seen several of her videos and enjoyed them, but this one really caught my attention. She was cleaning fossils that she had collected and she was using a mop bucket. As I was watching this, I thought to myself, what a great idea she has. After I was done rowing, I searched the internet to see if I could find this great new piece of equipment for cleaning the fossils that I collect. After a couple of minutes, I discovered it is the O-Cedar Microfiber Easywring Spin Mop and Bucket System, I know, it’s a mouthful. I found one today at a local home improvement store and purchased it for $33.00. The way this thing works is that after you fill it up with water, you put your dirty fossils in the spin apparatus. Dirty Concretions- Spin apparatus- You then push down on the pedal, which makes it spin in the water. And you have clean concretions in no time. This will be great for Mazon Creek concretions, fossils that I collect in Southern Indiana, etc. And the openings in the spin apparatus is small enough to capture some smaller fossils. See the Scale cube for size. Thanks again @Misha I told you that your scale cubes would be used.

Does anyone else use a 5 gallon bucket tool organizer for collecting? I do and love it! Super handy. The sheer number and variety of pockets will fit just about any tool you can think of. Plus you have the bucket to cary out your finds or to carry more tools in. They are also very cheap. You can get a really nice one for $20 USD or less. I’ve seen the “off brands” for around $10 USD at the big box stores.
