For the record : My name is Eric Martin and I invented the Golddigger Prospector Shovel / River Shovel.
Hello my name is Mike E. 2/12/12 I have been a member of GPAA since 2003, and I am the founding, and former GPAA Chapter President of the Brea, California Chapter of Route 66 Gold Miners Inc. I have done a fair amount of prospecting, and found a fair amount of gold. I met Eric Martin at one of our Chapter Meetings, and shortly after the introduction Eric demonstrated his new shovel. After prospecting for almost 20 years. I have often wondered about the unknown amounts of gold that have fallen off the shovel head, and escaped my sluice box, or my dry washer. The shovel that Eric Martin's designed eliminates the fear of loosing gold. Its easy to use, and compact for storage in your back pack. Eric's shovel is a must for the serious prospector. I recently used Eric's Shovel on a common dig with our Chapter. Immediately I could see the advantage of the shovel with each scoop of gravels. I was 100% positive that all the material from my shovel would be processed through my dry washer. Eric's Shovel saves time in that you can scoop more material per shovel load than store bought shovels.
From Tumbleweed Jim, member GPAA & board member of Inland Empire miners & prospectors club.
I love my prospector's Shovel ! I used it with my dry washer & processed twice as much material for the same amount of labor and didn't spill anything ! It's the best thing since sliced bread ! I cant wait to try it in the river.
From Mike, a LDMA MEMBER.
I used the Golddigger shovel in the river and was amazed ! No sand loss, it was like a water barrier was there. The current was fast enough to clean all the sand from the garden shovel in about 2 seconds ! A few weeks later, I used in Barstow with a dry washer. What you put in this shovel stays there till you pour it out.
Wow, I am impressed with your design! We prospect into remote GPAA claims here in Ca. I wish to purchase a shovel from you. Thank you, D C
