Ed and Susan, I've been collecting shells including micros since 1964.  I
made frames from 1 X 2" wood and notched for 6 different  stainless steel
mesh bottoms; 1/6 to" less than 1/64th".  This proved too elaborate.

Have you tried a kitchen strainer with handle? Just scoop and dump in a
container for later searching .

All good for sand.  for rocks put small rocks in an old pillow case and give
it a couple whacks with a crow bar.

Please let me know if this helps.

Aloha

Sid Sneidar
