Sifting Box/Table

[fuzymunky]

Has anyone here ever built any of c fdxbxvgb eg es sr d s their own sifting 'paraphernalia'? I'm on a spot that has a few areas of about 3x5 yard patches of sandy, rocky material that has a high concentration of iron (square nails, etc) but has also produced gold eagle buttons, crossed rifle/sword/cannon pins, coins...you name it.*I've been hit or miss on these patches with the DFX-300 (more miss than hit *) and I know for a fact that all it would take is a simple sifting option for the first few inches of these spots to turn out some decent stuff.*

Just looking for anyone that may have some experience with constructing something like this that would take at most: one shovel-full at a time of soil containing rocks no bigger than golf ball size.*

As always, I certainly appreciate any help.

Find a folding card table .. Remove the top and replace with metal hardware cloth.. 1/4 "-1/2". Or build a frame to hold the screen and suspend it from the frame with rope.. Use a strong magnet to remove the nails..
