Can I see pics of your sifters???

[borntofli]

I need to make a sifter, but am unsure how I want to build it.... Can you guys post pics of your sifters so I can see different ideas and options?????

I'm leaning toward the more simple side, just need some ideas......

Thanks for any input, greatly appreciated.........

2X2 with a double layer of 1/2 inch mesh. floating noodle strapped to the outside. works great.

Mines made with a 15" garden sifter & noodles.Ive also added a finds pouch too.

I would recommend looking at Cupajo's new posts on "More sifter details!!" it has all you will need.

Meggie, do you happen to have a model, brand name or source for that plastic garden sifter? I've been looking for on like that, but have not been unable to find any. Thanks!

I found them, but it appears they are not available in the U.S Looks like I'll have to get some prices for having a few shipped from the U.K...

Try fishing tackle shops. Here in the UK fishermen use them for sifting the maggots from the bran. Not sure if they fish with maggots in the US but worth a quick check.

[size=large][/size]JL, when you get to be an older Hunter, you may find a sifter is your best friend!!

When I was younger with excellent vision I hunted with my home made scoop and never gave a thought to using a sifter, but when I got older and started to lose my fine vision I resorted to a sifter to enable me to sort through the debris I dug up to locate the finds.

My sifter enables me to locate those pesky little targets that would be a big pain for me otherwise.

I hope this never happens to you Fellow Hunter, but if it does perhaps you may find a sifter useful!

How true this is....I have the same problem and would be lost without a sifter. With that said, if I were hunting in just sand and it sifted out of my scoop it would be a different story. Where we hunt, you come up with a scoop full of rocks and or gravel, it is very hard to see/ find a target in the bottom of your scoop.

Inner tube around a plastic tub that I drilled holes in.

I made mine out of a plastic fruit/veggie crate that had a mesh bottom. I used 90mm storm water pipe as the float and added a water proof compartment for my car keys. I found the design on youtube and modified it with the dry compartment.

The sifter my best friend

What would i do without it in clay, gravel, shells beaches.

I already know what the difference is not going anywhere without it.

I made this sifter 30years ago.The mess has gone from piastic to stainless steel 1/4 " holes.

Those sifters look like classifiers used for gold panning. Do a search for "gold pan classifiers" and see if that helps.
