SE 13.25 Inch Wide Stackable Classifier Gold Prospecting Pan - 1/4 Inch Stainless Steel Mesh Sifting Pan, Green

Serves two functions for me. After a day at a small dig site, they appear well made, work well, choice of screen sizes is convenient, quiet, and fit buckets nicely.

Works well with 5-gal buckets. Plastic is sturdy and mesh gauge stands up to a reasonable amount of downward pressure. Great for prepping finer germination soil. The 5 sifting size options provided make sense. Price is maybe a little higher than I’d like, but the quality is there, and these should last.

Minus 1 Star for being ridiculously expensive $12 bucks a pop in the Five-Piece Set (more than that if you are picking these up piecemeal), but still, high quality classifiers.Before you decide on purchasing these--know that if you are prospecting for gold, these are icing on the cake--you can pan for gold without fancy classifiers. These help you get through more material quickly (and hopefully, having consistent size material in your pan will help prevent you washing out your gold with your tailings.These are a great set (bought the 5-Piece Set). ALL screens in this set are Stainless Steel (not just the larger classifiers). Stacked, each pan stands about 1 3/4 inches above the last--I'd like them to stack with a slightly-lower profile for storage/transport, or even better maybe have two or three positions these can be stacked in (low profile for storage, medium/high for active use)--but we'll have to live with this for now.Classifiers fit nicely in any standard 5-gallon bucket--basically ANY old bucket will do--don't go out and splurge on a bucket.Recommend with  SE GP1014G14 14" Green Plastic Gold Pan with Two Types of Riffles --the 14" gold pan stores nicely in this set.First glance: plastic seems sturdy (thick, yet slightly flexible)--basically what a Home Depot plastic bucket (or pretty much any plastic bucket) is make out of. Mesh is arched slightly upwards to better support material (raised even from the plastic cross members on the bottom of the pans). NOTE: The plastic cross members are beneath the mesh, and act as structural support.That said, these are plastic, and will degrade in direct sunlight (i.e: fade, and become brittle). I would recommend keeping these out of direct sunlight for any period of time--gives you an excuse to do your prospecting in the shade! It would be a shame to damage your (VERY COSTLY) classifiers!I'll try to add more to this review once I've taken these out a few times, but looking at other reviews, these should work great!

This set is superb for sorting through gem gravel that we dig in Montana and bring home. Very high quality product that is built to last.

I wanted to make sea glass, so I bought a rock tumbler. I needed a way to sort the sizes out and to rinse the tumbling media off the glass. This works great. It’s well made and fits into a 5 gal bucket.

Works great for sifting eggs from the beetles. I'm raising mealworm for my chickens

Wide range of sizes and durable. Well worth the investment if you have a good reason to use these. I use them for Mealworms.

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.

Sturdy and functional, worked well

Very well mads, strong and will hold up for a long time. Fits perfect on a 5 gallon pail

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.
