XP Metal Detectors 15" Gold Classifier (5mm Mesh)

The XP 15-inch classifier with 5mm mesh is a stackable sieving pan designed for gold prospectors who run the XP Batea pan system. Prospectors working stream gravels or bench deposits need multi-stage classification to separate fine gold from larger rocks and debris, and this classifier adds a second mesh size to the XP lineup. It stacks directly onto the 10mm classifier or the XP Batea pan itself, letting you carry a two-stage sieving setup in a compact form. The 5mm mesh catches material the 10mm screen passes, refining the concentrate before final panning.

What's Included with the XP 15" Classifier

• XP 15-inch classifier pan with 5mm mesh screen

Why Gold Prospectors Reach for the XP 5mm Classifier

• Two-stage classification: stack the 5mm classifier on top of the 10mm to remove larger rocks first, then refine to panning-ready material in one pass.
• Compact stacking design: the XP pans nest together for easy transport in a backpack or vehicle, eliminating the bulk of carrying separate sieves.
• Large diameter sieving surface: the 15-inch diameter moves more material per shake than smaller classifiers, speeding up processing at productive spots.
• Lightweight construction: comfortable to use for extended classification sessions without arm fatigue, especially when working multiple buckets.
• Dual-handle grip: the molded handles give you control when shaking wet gravel, reducing spillage and improving sieving efficiency.

Faster Material Processing in Creek and Bench Deposits

Creek Gravels with Mixed Cobble and Fine Gold

When you're working a productive creek where the gold runs fine but the gravel includes fist-sized cobbles, the XP classifier system lets you process material in stages without switching tools. Run the 10mm classifier first to strip out the largest rocks, then follow with the 5mm screen to isolate panning-ready concentrate. The stacking design means you can set up both classifiers over a single bucket and work through the gravel in one motion. Prospectors working remote claims appreciate the compact carry, the entire XP system fits in a daypack alongside a gold panning guide and sample vials.

Bench Deposits with Clay and Decomposed Material

Bench gravels often contain clay balls and decomposed rock that won't break down until you work the material. The 5mm classifier catches these chunks before they reach your pan, letting you break them apart by hand or discard them if they're barren. The mesh size is tight enough to hold back most non-gold material while passing fine gold and black sand. We've used the XP classifier on desert benches in Arizona where the gold is flour-fine and the host material is heavily oxidized, the 5mm screen keeps the pan load manageable and speeds up the final separation. Pair it with other gold prospecting equipment for a complete field setup.
