[QUOTE="excalibur63, post: 73626, member: 2506"] Hmm.. I see where your going Dozzer,I guess like me your up N.E. Tas chasing the 2c+ blueboys. I use both the 6.3 & 3.1mm (left imperial years ago back in the UK), but with use, my 6.3 nowadays measures more like 5mm and the 3.1 like 2.5. The mesh tends to settle (and expand) with extended use thus making the apertures smaller (these sieves have been prospecting [gold] a number of years). I find settling a pan with aggregate any larger than 3mm tends not to want to preform satisfactory liquidfication adequately enough to concentrate the 4>SG elements. However, I always get satisfaction by being proven wrong. Love learning curves Sorting IS time consuming but speeding the process may lead to that 5c+ just getting tossed back in for the next hopeful to do the same. Best Regards Gordon :) [/QUOTE]
