Had to share this, just found while wandering around in Google images for tools.
Here's the link with plans, looks like you could modify it to any size you want cheap.

Very cool design. I made a similar water based trap, nicknamed "Golden Retriever" for my jewelry shop. I copied the design from a store I worked at that salvaged about $10K of gold and platinum in a five gallon bucket, that would have gone down the drain otherwise.

My Craftsman 16 gallon shop vac is extremely powerful. This is one of the few Craftsman power tools I would actually recommend. It will pick up nuts, bolts, screws, small wood pieces. I made this heavy item collector from a 3 gallon bucket. Most sawdust travels on to the vacuum. Heavier items fall to the bottom of the bucket and stay there. This allows for easy retrieval if something important gets sucked up.

Hey that one looks broke or retired?

Yea the 5 gallon bucket is the way to go easy-cheap-available with a lid. When you hear that thump thump thump the "what was at?" gets answered quick.
