Anyone have a pic of a screen they've built?

I built a little wooden screen apparatus but i think I'm going to weld a bigger one, say 3X5 out of 2" angle iron and then get some strong mesh and just make it solid with four legs, not the shaker type, and then you can dump a whole wheel barrel full of dirt on it and then move the dirt around with your hands.

I have a couple small screens with wood frames that we use to screen sandy river bottoms. Has to be sand, not mud. If there's a camp on land, there will be things in the sand of adjacent stream/river bottoms.

I'm using two 1/4" inch woven wire screens one is spring loaded . Both work excellent .

No kidding, that is brilliant. Gotta keep my eyes peeled at yard sales and thrift stores for one of those old horses!
