Thank you BONEFINGER, excellent design, I made one similar to yours many years ago but it was not as nice looking as what yours is. This type of design is far superior in my opinion than the little classifiers that only sit on top or just inside of a 5 gallon bucket. You can classify so much faster and classify a larger amount of dirt/material when you have such a large area for the water to get to the material. Thank you Sir for sharing with the rest of us out here. Respectfully, dd
I'm making one right now. Thanks. I even got to borrow a rivet crimper. Mesh: $13.00 Bucket: $2.50 I commonly hear 1/4" mesh is maximum for river sluicing, which is what I'm going with. I hope it doesn't need 2 stages of washing, but this thing will save on back problems for sure.

I found a waste paper basket in an op shop, just need a bucket to go around it haha
Do you sell the classifier buckets?
no... but it's not really hard to make. and would cost a lot less to do it your self.
thanks for asking.
unless you already have the wire mesh not cost effective
