5.0 out of 5 stars I use it for hunting shark teeth in Florida, August 18, 2009

I've had this item for several years now. My wife and I take it with us to Venice, Florida, the Shark Tooth Capitol of the world. Using this sifter in the surf helps sift out the sand beautifully and makes finding fossilized shark teeth a snap. It's stainless steel so it won't rust in the salty water, except for the actual mesh itself, it'll rust if you don't keep it rinsed with fresh water. Its also very sturdy and has never bent or warped digging up 8-10 pounds of wet sand. I've used it off and on for over three years and it works great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Soil Sieve saves soil-not just for Bonsai, June 14, 2008

Where has this been all my life! I do a lot of gardening and there are a lot of stones that made it difficult and I usually ended up throwing good soil away with the rocks. But no more. With the soil sieve I just fill it with soil, shake it and then throw the remaining stones away and am left with a beautiful pile of clean dirt. (I know-oxymoron) It's fast and kind of fun. My only suggestion would be they make it a little bigger. Don't be misled by "Bonsai". I use it outdoors and I have multiple gardens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for compost too, October 5, 2010

When you compost, the organic material will break down at different rates, so you end up with a pile that's mostly dirt but also contains things like wood that take longer to breakdown. This sieve is a great way to separate the dirt from the other things that are not-dirt-just-yet. I recently composted some leaves that had sat on my pea gravel driveway over the winter. Unfortunately, when I was raking up the leaves, I also raked up a lot of gravel. This sieve comes with three screens, so when I was shifting that compost pile, I choose a screen size that kept the gravel from falling through. Very handy indeed!

If you have a lot of compost, this is not the quickest way to separate the dirty from the not-dirt-just-yet. The reason I gave this item 4 stars and not five is that the walls of the sieve aren't very high which limits the amount of material you can sort through at one time. All-in-all a great product that I would certainly recommend to others.
