Beachcomber sifting sorter

Sift sand from beach finds and sort them on the spot

A beachcombing tray for children and collectors. Scoop and shake, and sand falls through the perforated floor while shells, sea glass and stones stay behind. The finds are sorted straight into the three side bays, so the best ones come home dry and separated.
