Made in the U.S.A!
The original miniature gold classifying set. Helps recover even the finest gold. Quality made and rugged construction. Built to last. Pots stack neatly inside each other for classifying multiple stages at once. A black bottom pot collects the finest particles while larger materials are retained in the above pots. Classifying down to the smallest mesh will help you catch finer gold better.
Pots are made of a tough ABS plastic and are only 5.75″ across and 3.5″
Individual pots available in mesh sizes of 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, & 100.
Mesh size indicates how many openings per linear inch. For example a 100 mesh is 1/100th of an inch per linear inch.

Professional prospectors will tell you that proper classification of placer material is the most important single step that leads to high recovery of placer gold. You will be amazed how easy it is to recover micro-fine gold, if it has been classified to the approximate size of the gold.
Always process the contents of each pot separately once separated.
Gold will separate much faster when the lighter materials are less than five times its mass. Specific gravity differences between gold and sand are what makes gold panning machines effective. When grains of gold, black sand and brown sand are compared, it will be noted that if the weights of the grains are equal, the size is greatly different. Likewise, if the grains are classified so that they are uniform in size, then the weights are very different. It is this size to weight ratio that makes classification important when using a panning machine or even when you are panning by hand. The size of the mesh is determined by the number of holes per inch.
For example, the size 10 pot has a mesh that has 10 squares per inch or in other words, each square is 1/10th of an inch. The new tall making the Camel Classifier Set compact and easy to use. Just put your placer material in the top (10 mesh) pot, nest the other three pots together from largest to smallest and set them into the bottom tub. Then shake vigorously to separate the five sizes.
