SE 13.25" Stackable Classifier Gold Prospecting Pan - 1/2" Stainless Steel Mesh, Green, Lightweight Nesting

The SE 13.25-inch stackable classifier is a lightweight, patented sifting pan with a 1/2-inch stainless steel mesh designed to sort paydirt quickly and nest into a 5‑gallon bucket for efficient gold prospecting.

SE’s patented 13-1/4" stackable sifting pan combines a corrosion-resistant stainless steel mesh with a durable, lightweight plastic frame so you can screen out oversized gravel and focus on the material size most likely to contain gold. Built to nest with other classifiers, this green pan reduces bulk in your kit and speeds up the classification step that prepares material for sluices, rocker boxes, and hand panning.

How does this classifier speed up gold recovery?

By removing large rocks and coarse debris before finer processing, the classifier reduces the volume of material you must process in sluices or pans. That concentrates the effort on the particle sizes where gold typically concentrates, saving time and reducing fatigue.

• 1/2" stainless steel mesh removes oversized gravel quickly
• Stackable design lets you prepare multiple size fractions in sequence
• Lightweight frame reduces hand fatigue during repetitive screening

Is the construction suited for frequent field use?

Yes. The screen uses rust-resistant stainless steel wire that tolerates wet conditions and aggressive use, while the molded plastic rim is built to withstand knocks without adding undue weight. The patented design also protects the mesh edges and lengthens service life.

• Durable stainless steel mesh resists corrosion and stretching
• Robust plastic rim resists impact while remaining portable
• Patented build secures mesh for long-term reliability

How does the stackable feature improve field organization?

The pans nest securely into each other and fit inside a 5-gallon bucket, minimizing storage footprint and making transport simpler. Stack multiple classifiers with different mesh sizes to run a quick grading workflow at the creek or in camp.

• Nests into a 5-gallon bucket for compact transport
• Allows sequential sizing with several classifiers stacked together
• Speeds setup and teardown at prospecting sites

What practical tips help get the best results?

Use the classifier over a bucket or sluice to capture the sized material. Shake or circular-sift motions work well; rinse as needed to prevent clogging. Inspect the mesh regularly and clean after each outing to preserve performance.

• Work over a bucket or pan to catch screened material
• Use a gentle shake and swirl to clear fines through the mesh
• Rinse and dry after use to avoid buildup and corrosion

Who is this for: The SE 13.25" stackable classifier is made for hobbyist and serious prospectors who want a durable, portable sieve to pre-sort material before sluicing or panning. It suits day-trippers, weekend crews, and anyone needing a compact, reliable tool to streamline classification without heavy gear.
