Hi all, a reminder to always treat your fine classifiers as though they had gold in them : here's what I got out of my 20-50-100 mesh classifiers when I flipped them over on a big pan and scraped across the bottom side of the mesh to push out any particles caught in the mesh. Gold being soft tends to catch in the mesh if it's right at the size of the mesh.

Ps good to do this once in a while to maintain classifying efficiency (unclog a the mesh holes).
