- Primary Interest:
- Prospecting
Been searching high and low for affordable, 6" round classifiers
in the smaller mesh sizes. Rarely will I have more than a few
cups of concentrates to run through, and the full sized classifiers
(that fit on a 5 gal. bucket) are just too cumbersome for breaking
down small amounts of material into #30 to #100 mesh sizes.
I'd seen the high quality ones built to meet the US Standard, but they
run anywhere from $50-$65 apiece..way to high for my budget. We
don't need that level of quality, but rather a robust, well-made product
that can take the use we put them through.
Here's what I found:
60 Mesh 6" Mini Classifier Sifting Pan for Your Gold Pan Panning | eBay
Bought 1 ea. of these in #30 and #60 mesh sizes, and am very pleased
with the quality and durability. Unfortunately, the seller only has them to
#60 mesh at this time, but I've requested that he offer some in #80 and
#100 mesh also.
Disclaimer: Other than being a customer, I don't know this seller nor do I
have any interest in his business. Just wanted to share what I felt was a
quality product at a fair price. Would rather buy American made, but maybe
we can get a US manufacturer to build something along the same lines and
price.
