just came across this video. After watching your video using a gem sieve, I wanted to get one until I seen the price of them. There is absolutely no reason for gem and gold prospecting equipment to be priced like they are except to line the pockets of the manufactures. Without videos like this one, I believe that those of us on low fixed incomes would be priced right out of the hobby and experience of prospecting. Amazon sells gem sieves right now for $60 to $75 U.S. Thats outrageous for a couple of pieces of plastic and some screen. I don't even want to get started on the sluice boxes, high bankers, and other equipment. Thank you for making these videos so more people can be able to afford the equipment that we need and want to get into and stay in the hobby.
Thank you for posting the video. Just a small suggestion. You could mark, pre-drill and countersink the holes before splitting the ring thus saving a step of having to re-align and tape it up before drilling. It will also make for more accurate hole alignment.
Thanks for the video. I'm making one now. My city utilities folks were awesome. I called them looking for pipe and they found a 1 foot long 16" diameter blue pipe section for me for free. I'll be able to make several and hook up friends.
It would be helpful to include possible sources for materials such as the mesh and pipe. In Dan's other videos, he uses three different sieves all with different construction. This is just one style. It would be great to know which style is preferred now after those other designs have been tested.
You could use an 18/14 aluminum or stainless steel mesh for this too, but is costs more and is trickier to use. I think it would last longer. Good Idea Dan, I may have to make one of these and trick it out a little bit, I have a few ideas. Great post!!
Thank you @Dan Hurd!! I love this and I love to watch your videos!! I am going to makes several of these along with classifiers out of the same design...cannot wait to use these on some Beryl and other gems!!
Found out about your channel through Yankees out door adventures. Love to watch videos on panning for Gold. Here in Ga. we have a rich history of gold mining. Awesome channel you have here.Shalom from Bubba
So week you added this I have been watching your videos. You have come a long ways , keep up the good work I made mine out of a BMX bike rim and high pressure hose . You asked about try,n new things , how about try melt gold and do a cast ring or ? Keep it simple like just map torch and crucible .
Very fine mesh. Smallest size I use is 1/8 inch. Mind you I will give this a go as I do need a couple of more sieves. Great video and thanks for publishing it. By the way, you have a champion beard. Do you ever worry about getting it caught in rotating equipment? Cheers from down under Mate.
No dimensions in description page for saruka. What size is that pipe? Is the screen cloth or wire? What type is it? What size inch & 1/4 long screw are you using? Wouldn't it have been easier to lay both the ring and tape flat on the bench and work your way around?
The best screen I found is "Pet resistant window screen" but this does make a very fine gem sieve. We don't have big gems around here so that is fine for us. The screws were nothing special, 1 1/4" generic screws.
Classifiers are too deep for a good flip, once centers are created. The center will "splash" down too far and spread. You really want the heavies all as close to center as possible.

what kind/ dimension mesh did you use to make the gem sieve? and any reccomendations on 1/4 in and 1/8 in pans to buy for use before the gem sieve?
They don’t appreciate the genius and value of the teaching. Awesome video!

You seem like a good teacher. I would love to take your class. Wish I had a class like this when I was in school lol.
Awesome job Dan … no better way to learn skills other than by doing!

As a former teacher, loved this very much!
What is the Diameter of the pipe you are using??
So week you added this I have been watching your videos. You have come a long ways , keep up the good work
I made mine out of a BMX bike rim and high pressure hose .
You asked about try,n new things , how about try melt gold and do a cast ring or ? Keep it simple like just map torch and crucible .
excellent instructional video on making the gem sieve :)

Is the screen cloth or wire? What type is it?
What size inch & 1/4 long screw are you using?
Wouldn't it have been easier to lay both the ring and tape flat on the bench and work your way around?
What ever size pipe you can find, and what ever size screws that fit the size you cut the pipe.
Excellent Tutorial! Thank you!
Hello Dan ,idea is use a table saw with fence would work great. Just idea thanks
I thought the same thing
for better cuts, please talk to a pipe fitter... they really do make tools to help make perfect lines around a pipe...
I keep on forgetting i have your old vids to watch thanks for the diy vid
Some really bad videos in the collection
@@Danhurd lol dont b hard on your self its like gorge days meatalica got an old school feel to it
Great video. How thick is the PVC you used? Its looks to be half inch but I want to know for sure.
Hello just wondering are you using window screen. Have a wonderful day
Pretty cool Dan I've been wondering how to do that for a while my first attempt was out of a wooden craft stitch bracket yours is much better...
good afternoon. Where do I get that 15 inch pvc pipe. I've been calling drainage places. no luck.
Where do you get a small piece of the large blue pipe to make this with???
Where do I find a 16 inch piece of pvc or something I can cut out to make a saruca ?
Excellent. Thank you
That class of yours must be a hybrid cross of geology and shop class.
Do you sell any of these screens? If so I would be interested.
Those kids wouldn't look nearly as bored and half asleep, if they knew they could use this thing to make high explosives!
Mr. Hurd, would you please be able to tell me what type of screen you used ? Also What type of screws did you use ? Thanks in advance.
The best screen I found is "Pet resistant window screen" but this does make a very fine gem sieve. We don't have big gems around here so that is fine for us. The screws were nothing special, 1 1/4" generic screws.
what is the size of the screen did you use 1/8" or 1/4"?
What size is the screen you used ?
Awesome may try that thxxx
thanks for the tip with the file!
17:17 it looks like a wrap battle going on in the back behind you lol
Like wrapping presents lol?
is it possible to buy one of these from you?
I hope you are smart and protect your ears. I am an old carpenter and have been careless with it, may regret it now
MBSS?
WOuld you sell me one of these? ASking from WIsconsin
Young Dan Hurd sounds like Malkovich!
Who was yawning in class? Stand in that corner and write 100 lines!
where is your school? i would love this class
He always posts it at the end of the video. Check it out. Mount Boucherie, it's in British Columbia, Canada.
Milwaukee eh......like ur style
What size is the pvc pipe?
+John Ruckman The sieves I made this year were out of 12" pipe. I think the first year was 14".
Iwas on time and didnt curse any bad words can I have an A in this class?
Dan is the Walter White of geology! 😂
Where did you get the pipe
From a construction site garbage pile.
thanks
Is he in a race. Maybe teaching these kids to not rush would be a good idea.
god I feel old lol good ol high school
He reminds me of John Malkovich...
Awesome student project BTW.
what it's like being John Malkovich
Hello again Dan. Is there any chance you would consider selling me one of these gem seives ? I sent you a message on Facebook.
My classifiers do this, dont see a difference
Classifiers are too deep for a good flip, once centers are created. The center will "splash" down too far and spread. You really want the heavies all as close to center as possible.
Luckiest school ever
Nope. This is how people get hurt and turned off of the entire endeavor. Love you Dan but Not On This One.
Drama
hey kid less talking you might learn something.
