Wet and Dry Panning Mesh
There are optimum sizes when it comes to the mesh in wet and dry panning, as well as other types of hunting such as garnet digging, sapphire hunting etc. due to the fact that they all involve diverse situations. There are some really good ones that can be fit to be used in almost any type of exploration you are doing though.
There are funnel shaped classifiers in the market that can be used for wet or dry material because they let the material to go down to the bottom rapidly. The designs that are round make the material flow throw quickly when the prospector does a twisting motion to it. The other ones have to be shaken from side to side and can be quite fatiguing if done for a long quantity of time. There are additionally classifiers that have legs extended on the underside of them as well and these can be set on to and the legs rock around the outside of the pan. The classifier and the pan will hold steadily together if they are grabbed with both hands and a twisting motion is used on them, this will very quickly divide the larger pieces from the smaller material in the pan. These classifiers are quite ideal because the legs on them have a well defined slope that allows you to put the classifier on any kind of gold pan, which is very opportune. All you have to do is place the classifier on the top part of the pan, hold the classifier and the gold pan with both your hands, and twist it so that the material flows through and some classifiers as we previously pointed out, have designs that can be used in wet or dry material.
A good amount of classifiers also fit over plastic buckets if this is where you want to do the job. There are five gallon plastic buckets sold and these have become very well liked when it comes to prospecting. Dredge operators use these kinds of buckets to hold their concentrates in so they can then take them home and pan them later when there is time to instead of wasting time on the field. A lot of gem hunters also use them to classify their material in so they can then inspect it later as well and dry wash panners use them to place their heavy concentrates inside so they can wet pan it later on. The amusing thing about this bucket is that it looks like an ordinary every day plastic bucket nonetheless it is very frequently used. The benefit of it is that a good amount of material can be placed inside of it. The material is then shoveled onto a classifier and placed inside the bucket. Using a classifier will save you from taking home a lot of insignificant material so it is very good idea to have a good one and we suggest everyone consider them.
Dredge operators also use classifiers and empty their sluice boxes in classifiers; they do this by holding it under water so that the material suspends directly over the big gold pan or plastic bucket. The classifier is then taken out of the water and it is looked at carefully to see if there are big rocks and to see if any nuggets can be found, then the left over material is thrown out and the smaller concentrates are taken home so they can inspect them later on. Keep in mind that there are a number of classifiers that have bigger sized holes and the problem with them is that every now and then they let too much material flow through and cleaning up the material later on may take a lot more time.
Depending on what type of hunting or prospecting you are going to be doing is what will establish the form of classifier you will need to get. A large number of gem hunters are interested in getting hold of larger size materials such as gems and semi precious stones etc, and this is why it is essential to know what kind of classifier to use in each case. Some classifiers have holes that have an identical size while there are others that have smaller sized holes in them.
