SE 13.25 Inch Wide Stackable Classifier Gold Prospecting Pan - 1/2 Inch Stainless Steel Mesh Sifting Pan, Green

Very nice set of 5, well made and I think they will be very helpful in finding different types of minerals, fossils and for sifting dirt as well. Love that they fit in a 5 gallon bucket to carry to the work site as well.

I use this to sift for shark tooth fossils, and it works great for that purpose! Dedicated fossiling equipment tends to be a good bit more costly than this was, so I was very happy to find it. I've used it probably about 5 times now, and it's held up well so far - I also find that it makes my wrists ache less than my old square sifter used to. I've recommended these to some other friends I also go fossiling with, and unfortunately two of them did end up purchasing the wrong size - one got the 1/2 inch, and another got the 1/8 inch one by accident. If you plan on using one of these for a similar purpose, the 1/4 inch is perfect, and the others were too big or small to really be effective (which is not the product's fault, of course). I would definitely purchase this item again in the future.

very good quality

I bought these to take to the annual family beach vacation. These sifters are so much more sturdy than the flimsy ones that are packaged with a child's bucket and shovel set. These sifters are pretty heavy duty! The 1/4" screen worked well to sift through the sand and shells so I was able to find sharks teeth. I bought two of them and my sister in law and I spent hours hunting for teeth, and together, we found over 75. In previous years, we've found no more than 25. When we'd be hit with a wave, most of the contents of the sifter stayed in the sifter, so that was helpful as well. That is most definitely because the side wall of this sifter is much higher than one of the child sifters (of which, I broke three prior to using the big one!) This sifter is big, and when full, it's heavy, I definitely had a good arm workout that week at the beach! That said, I'm thrilled that I ordered these and would definitely order them again if I need to replace the two I have. They lasted the whole week at the beach, and I would guess they'll last a lot longer. My only complaint, and this is most likely because I tended to overfill my sifter, is that the palm of my hand below my thumbs was sore, almost with a blister-like feeling. The lip of the sifter is rounded on top, but underneath, the edge is not smooth. The way I held the sifter had that edge rubbing on my thumb pads, and two weeks later, the skin on my thumb pads is still a little rough. I'll have to figure out a better way to hold the sifter, or maybe not put so much in it. If the lip was rounded all the way underneath, I believe that I wouldn't have rubbed the thumb pads so much, to the point they were almost raw. Over all, I will be using these again. I'm very happy with this purchase and cannot wait for my next beach trip.

Got this for my grandkids they loved it,

These are really great classification pans , I bought the 9 piece set to use with gold panning but also other projects around the house ( reloading ammo and gardening)

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Heavy duty. They are stackable and come with different size screen for screening varying size pieces. The screen mesh appears to be made of hardened stainless wire and would be difficult to distort and have never seen one rust or corrode. However the best feature for me is the bottom edge is rebated nicely to fit the rim or mouth of a standard 5 gallon bucket.

I purchased this to sift out debris from my existing rubber mulch. I was able to save and reuse 80% of my mulch while removing more than a 1 gallon bucket of sand/dirt, rocks, birdseed, weeds, and other trash. This saves me a lot of money as I refresh for the new year. The sifter is very durable and the high walls allow me to sift larger batches.

This item was on sale and purchased the last one. Amazon miss counted and had to ship from the USA to fulfill the order at the sale price. The sifter matches the other 5 I have and completes the set. The sifter works well with the others. I am using the sifter set for mealworms and beetles. They are a little pricy but work very well. All around the mesh on top and bottom are tiny gaps. Some hot glue from a glue gun works well and stops tiny worms from getting stuck.

Muy buen producto en excelente estado. Y la entrega muy rápida.. estoy muy contento.. recomiendo al vendedor gracias amazon

I also purchased one with an additional finer sieve. However the meal meals get stuck around the rim as their are gapes between the plastic and wire mesh and they get trapped. On YouTube it says you can purchase liners to stop this but that means more money. Not happy. Additional information I am now keeping the set but will glue the edging of the rim and hopefully I won't loose any baby mealworms. These mealworms in the last 2 pics was found after shaking on the 14th day after 1st using.

Excellent product, great value, fast shipping

These things make sorting your material a breeze. I was worried that the quality of the plastic wouldnt be that good or the mesh would be crap but I am impressed with how they performed on their first day out regardless of their price =:0 . I took home 5 buckets of material to sift through of nice sand that I have already tested and know has gold. There is basically zero crap and the material i have to work with is a breeze. Goodbye nasty big rocks hiding my gold! Anyhow, if you have places that have a large variety of rock and dirt sizes this set will help your speed and comfort greatly. My only suggstion is to get a spare pan.... I think 14 incher so that you can dump and gather material with one and leave the other under the sifters. Also I noticed that they only mention the grit of the pans in mm but I wanted it in inches so Ill leave that here for anyone else wondering. 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, 1/8 inch, 1/12 inch and 1/20th. Oh yea also i found 3 fit into a large reusable shopping bag perfectly so i left the 2 smallest at home for ease and can pull them out once i am home with buckets of good material. HAPPY Hunting!!!
