Abstract

A gatherer device for fruits, nuts, etc., which is made of wire shaped to form a basket which includes tines that are shaped to guide the fruit into the basket as the device is pushed along the ground in the direction of the fruit. The wires are connected together side-by-side on their upper length and the wires are shaped and spaced such that the fruit does not fall from the basket as the fruit is gathered.
