I am getting a classifying set that ends in 60x mesh. what would the mesh size be for a "screen" on a screen door be so that I can get an idea of the 60x mesh size. thanks.

I'm surprised 100 mesh allows simple molecules like nitrogen to pass through, but I’m a “noob”. Maybe I’ll collect the nano-dust when I get experience

Don't discount 100 mesh gold there is more 100 mesh and finer gold than there is any other size gold, this is the gold that you don't "see" and is going out of your pan when panning and not classifying, the bigger material will push it right out and you will never see it.
