[QUOTE="Stevoggo, post: 142741, member: 4471"] Hi guys, Going camping etc with kids near Oberon in Easter. Was looking to make up a couple of Sieve/classifiers to help us look for gems etc. What size mesh is normally used? From what I have read and seen I was thinking 1/4 inch into 1/8. I will be using materials I find lying around and the DIY bucket method. Is insect mesh too fine? It appears to have holes 2mm square which is close to 1/8th (3mm) My first time trying this.... I have searched the forum but did not find an answer in regards to gems. Thanks :) Steve [/QUOTE]
