Vac Pacs; Dry Crevice Vacuum

One other popular item prospectors are using these days is the Vac Pac. This consists of a machine that is carried on the back like a backpack and it can be used to vacuum crevices in dry and wet areas, however works better in areas that are dry. The materials that are vacuumed from the cracks and crevices are sucked into a bucket that holds them. This machine is powered by a little two-cycle engine that can run all day long on a quart of gas. This machine weighs around fifteen pounds and it is equipped with a six-foot long hose that is used for suction.

This tool can be very useful for cleaning dry cracks and crevices that would otherwise be difficult to clean, however the best thing about this machine is that it is easy to look into places and look in crevices that are not easy to see, since the ones that can be found easily are normally the ones that have already been cleaned and emptied out.
