Usually ready in 24 hours
Engineered for Faster Classifying. Built for All-Day Comfort.
Premium 316 Stainless Steel with 3-Mesh Spacing
Built from 316 marine-grade stainless, this basket uses a true woven 3-mesh (6.87mm aperture)— the ideal size for stripping away bulky overburden while keeping the gravel where mid-sized nuggets and gemstones hide. Every aperture is consistent, giving you an easier way to size your material accordingly.
Custom Tapered Design – Fits Both 20L & 10L Buckets
No need to buy multiple classifier sizes. Our purpose-built tapered profile fits perfectly on both 20L Bunnings buckets and 10L Bunnings buckets.
Even better, it’s stackable, so you can run multiple mesh sizes together and speed up your classifying workflow dramatically.
Oversized Comfort Handles for All-Day Control
Thick, ergonomic handles give you a secure, comfortable grip — ideal for long sessions on the creek. They also improve the range of motion to classify using tilt, shake, or twist to break material faster with less strain on your body.
ClayBreaker Bars to Break Up Tough Material
Inside the basket you’ll find two strategically placed ClayBreaker Bars.
These do more than stiffen the frame — they smash apart sticky clay before it balls up, helping trapped gold drop through the mesh instead of getting locked inside these clumps.
Over 300 Welds To Make – Built to Last
After countless hours of design and prototyping, each basket is brought to life with over 300 individual welds! (The most we've counted is 318). Every bar, weld and angle is positioned with purpose to maximise functionality and durability to give you real performance in real prospecting conditions.
