Compact Hand Pump for Hard-to-Reach Gold Recovery
The Quick Sniper Hand Pump gets into tight spots where standard equipment won't fit. This compact crevice tool works both above water and fully submerged, making it perfect for extracting gold from rock cracks, under boulders, and behind obstructions that larger dredges can't access.
Key Features
- Flexible, virtually unbreakable nozzle reaches into narrow crevices
- Internal cavity separates heavy material from lighter sediments automatically
- Works above water or completely submerged for versatile prospecting
- Under 24 inches long - fits easily in any backpack
- Durable leather plunger cup provides strong, consistent suction
- Adjustable blue extension tube adds 4-5 inches of reach
How the Separation System Works
Inside the nozzle, a short internal pipe creates a cavity that holds heavier materials like gold flakes and dense black sands. You can pump 4 to 5 strokes before emptying, while lighter material naturally flushes back into the water. A gentle shake settles the heaviest concentrates deeper into the chamber before dumping into your pan.
This separation happens automatically - no adjustments needed. The design lets you focus on working productive crevices instead of constantly emptying material.
Built for Field Durability
The leather plunger cup lasts much longer than rubber alternatives. Just soak it in cool water for 10-15 minutes before your first use. The rounded rim design makes removal and replacement simple without tearing the leather.
Perfect companion to larger Gold-N-Sand prospecting equipment or as a standalone tool for targeted crevice work. Pairs well with traditional gold prospecting supplies like pans and classifiers.
