The invention is a portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus having a bucket, a supporting classifier screen and a supported classifier screen setting freely within the bucket, having a bucket handle and a bucket lid closing securely over the bucket. The supported classifier screen has a screen mesh and a screen handle, allowing the user to lift the supported classifier screen from the bucket. The supporting classifier screen has a screen mesh which may be of a finer mesh than the supported screen mesh and a supporting classifier frame. A prospector uses the portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus invention by scooping or pouring mineral material into the bucket with an earth digging scoop or gold pan. The supported classifier screen and the supporting classifier screen are adapted to classify and separate mineral material from coarse to finer grain material when poured into the bucket.

1. A portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus comprising: (a) a bucket comprising: a bucket top edge and an opposing bottom edge, a bucket handle attaching to and cooperatively engaging the bucket proximal to the bucket top edge, a bucket bottom, and a bucket lid engaging and closing securely over the bucket top edge;(b) a supporting classifier screen and a supported classifier screen, both the supporting classifier screen and the supported classifier screen nesting freely, removably and snugly within the bucket;(c) the supported classifier screen comprising: a supported screen mesh, a supported screen top edge and a screen handle cooperatively attached to the supported classifier screen proximal to the supported screen top edge;(d) the supporting classifier screen comprising: a supporting screen top edge, a supporting screen mesh finer than the supported screen mesh, and a supporting classifier frame, the supporting classifier frame comprising: a plurality of support bars attachedly spaced equidistant along the supporting screen top edge, each of the plurality of support bars extending substantially vertically, slightly angling outwardly from the supporting screen top edge at a connecting point end to an opposing support hook free end and toward the bucket top edge;(e) the bucket further comprising a plurality of bucket notches spaced equidistant along the bucket top edge securely and freely accommodating the respective and co-located and matching opposing support hook free end of each of the plurality of support bars;(f) the supporting classifier frame further comprising midway along each of its plurality of support bars a supporting frame support bracket, each supporting frame support bracket projecting inward to the bucket from its respective one of the plurality of support bars;(g) the supporting frame support bracket connected to each of the plurality of support bars providing secure support and nesting for the supported classifier screen within the supporting classifier frame of the supporting classifier screen within the bucket;(h) the supporting classifier frame thereby allowing the supporting classifier screen to nest freely and midway within the bucket, and the supported classifier screen to nest freely and proximally to the bucket top edge, the supported screen top edge locating flush with the bucket top edge;(i) the supported classifier screen and the supporting classifier screen adapted for receiving and sequentially classifying and separating mineral material when the mineral material is poured into the bucket;(j) the bucket handle and the bucket lid allowing the bucket containing the supporting classifier screen, the supported classifier screen and the mineral material to be securely and compactly transported; and(k) whereby the bucket being securely and compactly transported provides the portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus. 2. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: (a) a gold pan and an earth digging scoop;(b) the gold pan and the earth digging scoop each adapted with a tool attaching means for attaching the gold pan and the earth digging scoop to the bucket handle; and(c) whereby the gold pan and the earth digging scoop are securely and compactly transported with the bucket. 3. The tool attaching means of claim 2 comprising: an attachment hole. 4. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: an apparatus attaching means for attaching the gold pan and the earth digging scoop to the bucket handle at the tool attaching means. 5. The apparatus attaching means of claim 4 comprising: a carabineer. 6. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: lightweight and noncorroding material. 7. The bucket of the portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 1 tapering to the opposing bottom edge. 8. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 1 percolating the mineral material through the supported classifier screen and then through the supporting classifier screen to the bucket bottom. 9. A portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus comprising: (a) a bucket comprising: a bucket top edge, an opposing bottom edge, a bucket handle attaching to the bucket proximal to the bucket top edge, a bucket bottom, and a bucket lid closing securely over the bucket top edge;(b) at least one classifier screen comprising: a classifier screen, mesh of increasing fineness for each of the at least one classifier screen beginning at the bucket top edge, and a screen handle, the at least one classifier screen nesting freely, removable and snugly within the bucket;(c) a free supporting frame comprising a horizontal support beam and a plurality of support bars spaced equidistant along an inside circumference of the bucket, the horizontal support beam located midway along and attaching to the plurality of support bars, and the free supporting frame sitting snugly and securely inside the inside circumference of the bucket, and each of the plurality of support bars extending substantially vertically, slightly angling outwardly from a free bottom end at the opposing bottom edge at the bucket bottom of the bucket to an opposing free support end proximal to the bucket top edge;(d) the bucket further comprising a plurality of free support attaching means spaced equidistant along the bucket top edge securely attaching and freely accommodating the respective and co-located opposing free support end;(e) the free supporting frame further comprising at least one support bracket midway along each of its plurality of support bars, each at least one support bracket projecting inward to the bucket from its respective plurality of support bars;(f) each at least one support bracket thereby providing support and nesting for the at least one classifier screen within the free supporting frame inside of the bucket;(g) the at least one classifier screen adapted for receiving, and sequentially classifying and separating mineral material when the mineral material is poured into the bucket;(h) the bucket handle and the bucket lid allowing the bucket containing the at least one classifier screen and the mineral material to be securely transported; and(i) whereby the bucket being securely transported provides the portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus. 10. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 9 further comprising: (a) a gold pan and an earth digging scoop;(b) the gold pan and the earth digging scoop each having a tool attaching means for attaching the gold pan and the earth digging scoop to the bucket; and(c) whereby the gold pan and the earth digging scoop are securely and compactly transported with the bucket. 11. The tool attaching means of claim 10 comprising: an attachment hole. 12. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 9 further comprising: an apparatus attaching means for attaching the gold pan and the earth digging scoop to the bucket handle at the tool attaching means. 13. The apparatus attaching means of claim 12 comprising: a carabineer. 14. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 9 further comprising: lightweight and noncorroding material. 15. The bucket of the portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 9 tapering to the opposing bottom edge. 16. The portable prospecting and classifying self-contained apparatus of claim 9 percolating the mineral material through the at least one classifier screen to the bucket bottom.
