I saw this project in a book titled The Urban Treasure Hunter. I garbage picked the wood needed for this. Took approx two hours to get done. Only thing needed is the wire mesh of which I'm going to try and get today.

Nah, no problem at all. Folds up. I'm gonna put a handle on it for carrying. It's only going to be used at old farm sites and home sites. I would'nt be bringing this on coinshooting hunt. This is more for a site where I may be digging for bottles and such. Also, privies.

Went and bought a 5' X 24"roll of 1/2" mesh and put it on. I still want to put a 3/4" strip of wood on the bottom over the mesh for the perimeter of the sifter for better reinforcement on the screen and to keep the sifter box alittle up off the ground when it's laying down so the dirt can still come through when filling it. Also used alittle bar soap where the legs swivel for easier movement. Spent $9 for mesh and brackets.

Looks great, Mike. I built one myself a few years back for sifting some of the old ghost town sites in Nevada. Great

Mike having made and used dozens of sifters yours looks like a good one. One small suggestion if you don't mine. Put a flat 2 1/2 or 3 in L bracket on the top 4 corners.  Help enforce it a little.

Found some wood this morning to add to the bottom to reinforce the mesh. Ready to give it a whirl.

Privies?  I've never considered them as a detecting site.  Do you have much luck with them?
