Used these at Crater of Diamonds for three days. In combination of 4 mesh and 20 mesh. Quickly got the technique down and got good centers in no time. Helped to sort through the buckets quickly. These are lightweight, but very sturdy. Didn't find anything immediately, but the bucket of gravel still needs sorting! I highly recommend these.
Have only got to use them once so far. They did good job classifying material. Can't wait to go back to cater of diamond and try them there
Going to Crater of Diamonds in October will know then what I think about product when done using product. They'll look like they'll work for what I have in mind.
