What it does for you Quickly separates gold and heavier particles from sand and impurities using a precision mesh design that increases screening efficiency. Reduces time and effort at the creek or stream by delivering fast, reliable sifting so you can focus on recovery rather than reworking material. Built to withstand regular field use: designed for wear resistance and prolonged usability in rough outdoor conditions. Key benefits Faster recovery: precision mesh lets fine material pass through while retaining heavier particles for easier inspection. Low maintenance: sandandmud resistant construction allows quick rinseoff cleaning so the sifter is ready to reuse with minimal cleanup. Reliable in the field: a durable structure resists wear and supports repeated use on uneven terrain. Easy to carry and use: ergonomic handle and an efficient screening area combine portability with practical performance for hiking and river excursions. Features and performance Precision mesh screening for screening efficiency and consistent separation. Design adaptable to diverse terrains, suitable for shallow streams, riverbanks, and similar environments. Construction resists buildup and simplifies postuse maintenance; rinse clean to remove debris quickly. Ergonomic handle and compact footprint for comfortable use and easy transport during hikes or prospecting trips. Compatibility and practical notes Suited for recreational prospecting and smallscale fieldwork where hand screening is preferred. Works well with standard goldpanning workflows: feed material into the sifter over a pan or sluice to speed up separation before inspection. Compact and lightweight enough to include in daypacks without adding significant bulk. Typical use scenarios 1. Day hike prospecting: carry the sifter in your pack for quick screening of riverbank material during short field trips. Rapid separation reduces time spent processing samples. 2. Stream and riverbed recovery: use on shallow streams and riverbanks to screen sediment into a pan or collection tray, then rinse and inspect retained material for heavier particles. 3. Sample preparation for sluices or pans: prescreen material at the site to remove excess fines and debris, improving the efficiency of downstream panning or sluicing. Care and maintenance Rinse thoroughly after use to remove trapped sand and mud; allow to dry before storage. Inspect mesh and handle for wear periodically; cleaning after each use helps maintain screening efficiency and prolong service life. This sifter is designed to provide efficient separation, simple upkeep, and dependable field use for hiking and river exploration without unnecessary bulk.
