I am asking all of you sifters for your input as to whether I am crazy for modifying WAHAMA's design. Will this work? All thoughts good or bad are welcomed. You can be cruel.

Didn't get out to the cliffs this weekend, so I decided to make a floating sifter. This one has 1/4 screen in it. I am going to make another one that has 1/8 screen, but I'll have a smaller 1/4 screen that fits over it along with a scoop that I can pour water over the larger screen. I think I will fashion some sort of strap on it so I can carry it on my back so that I can still surface collect until I get to a good sifting spot.
Now my modification:
Floats are not attached yet. 4 bolts are secured to the underlying 1/4 inch screen and the 1/2 inch screen can be slipped on top easily. my concern is water intake into the upper sifter since holes can't be sealed. Also, I have left the handles detatchable so that it will fit into a suitcase easier. Again suggestions or criticism is welcomed. Not sure why my pictures are so dark. Sorry!!!
