XP Metal Detectors Gold Prospecting Vial (20ml / 0.67oz)

The XP 20ml vial is designed to store fine gold flakes, dust-sized particles, and small nuggets recovered during prospecting sessions. The 0.67oz capacity works well for prospectors recovering flour gold from pans and sluices or small detector finds during field work. The clear glass construction lets you visually assess how much material you've collected without opening the container and risking spillage. The xxxx -top design keeps your newly discovered gold secure during transport in a backpack or detector pouch throughout the day.

The XP vial features a xxxx -top cap that provides a secure seal to keep your newly discovered gold flakes safe when properly closed. Prospectors storing wet gold from creek work or sluicing find the threaded design reliable for containing fine particles and water during transport in a backpack or detector pouch. The seal is tight enough to prevent leakage when the vial is jostled during field work. Hand-tighten the cap firmly after each use to maintain the seal's integrity throughout the day and ensure your gold remains secure.

The XP 20ml vial works for storing small metal detecting finds beyond gold, including coins, buttons, small relics, and jewelry fragments that fit through the neck opening. The glass construction won't react with oxidized metals or corroded items, making it suitable for temporary field storage of copper, silver, or brass targets. The clear body lets you inspect finds without opening the container. For long-term storage of reactive metals, transfer items to a container with corrosion-inhibiting materials once you return from the field.

Clean the XP vial by rinsing it with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, then use a bottle brush or cotton swab to reach residue clinging to the glass walls and cap threads. Fine gold particles can lodge in the threads, so unscrew the cap fully and scrub both the vial neck and cap interior with a brush. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue, then air-dry the vial upside down to prevent water spots. For stubborn gold dust, soak the vial in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing.

The XP 20ml vial does not include a built-in lanyard loop or attachment point on the cap or body. Prospectors who want to secure the vial to a belt loop or pack strap can wrap paracord around the vial's neck below the threads or use a small mesh pouch with a carabiner clip. The smooth glass exterior and xxxx cap design prioritize a leak-proof seal over attachment features. Store the vial in a zippered pocket or detector pouch compartment to prevent loss during field work, especially when moving through brush or crossing streams.

The XP vial is made of standard glass, which can crack or shatter if dropped onto rocks, concrete, or other hard surfaces from waist height or higher. Prospectors working in rocky terrain should store the vial in a padded pouch or wrap it in a cloth to absorb impact if dropped. The glass construction offers clarity and a secure seal but lacks the impact resistance of plastic alternatives. Carry a backup vial if you're prospecting in areas where drops are likely, or pad the vial's storage location in your pack to reduce breakage risk.

The XP vial's clear glass body allows full visual inspection of stored gold or finds without removing the xxxx cap, which helps prevent accidental spillage of fine particles during field checks. Prospectors can hold the vial up to sunlight or a headlamp to assess the day's recovery and estimate volume. The transparency also makes it easy to identify which vial contains gold versus other materials when carrying multiple containers. This feature is particularly useful when working with flour gold, where opening the vial to check contents risks losing dust-sized particles to wind or movement.
