October’s Best-Selling Gold Prospecting Essential: 5 Gallon Classifier Screens
Our 5 Gallon Classifier Screens have officially claimed the top spot as the month’s best seller, and for good reason. Whether you’re a recreational gold panner or a serious prospector running high volumes of material, these classifier screens are the key to faster, easier, and more efficient gold recovery.
WHY CLASSIFICATION MATTERS
Ask any experienced prospector and they’ll tell you: Gold recovery starts with proper classification. Separating out unwanted rocks and debris allows you to focus only on paydirt—the material that actually holds gold. By running classified material, you increase the efficiency of your pan, sluice, or high banker while dramatically improving your chances of recovering fine gold. That’s why our classifier screens are considered an essential first step in any gold panning process. They turn tedious sorting into a streamlined, high output operation.
DESIGNED FOR FIELD PERFORMANCE
Universal Fit:
Each classifier sifting screen is designed to sit securely on a standard 3 or 5 gallon bucket or a 14 inch gold pan, making it easy to integrate into your existing equipment. They are also stackable, so you can run multiple mesh sizes in sequence—no slipping, wobbling, or lost material, creating one streamline classification operation.
Built to Last:
Crafted from high-impact, durable plastic and 304 stainless steel wire mesh, these classifiers are rugged enough to withstand daily use in tough outdoor conditions. From coarse to ultra-fine material, ASR Outdoor offers classifier screens in the following sizes:
Mesh Options: 1/2" | 1/4" | 1/8" | 1/12" | 1/20" | 1/30" | 1/50" | 1/70" | 1/100"
With convenient combo packs available, you can choose the exact level of classification for your prospecting style or region, see below:
