Why you need this pan Lightweight and durable: made from impact-resistant plastic so you can carry it easily on long prospecting trips while still withstanding rough outdoor use. Faster, more effective panning: specially designed riffles and a 15-inch diameter increase sediment separation and improve gold recovery, so you spend less time sorting and more time collecting. Simple, manual operation: streamlines traditional gold-panning technique into an easy-to-use tool that helps both beginners and experienced prospectors detect and collect gold more efficiently. Key features and benefits Size: 15-inch pan — large enough to process meaningful material while remaining portable. Material: durable plastic construction for long-lasting field performance and resistance to dents or corrosion. Riffles: molded riffles optimize sluicing action in the pan, trapping heavy particles and improving separation of gold from lighter sediment. Portability: compact, lightweight design for easy transport and quick setup at riverbanks, creeks, or campsites. Usability: suitable for manual panning techniques; works well as a standalone tool for recreational prospecting and preliminary sampling at claims. Typical use scenarios Weekend prospecting at a stream or creek: quickly pan through concentrates to find flakes and small nuggets without heavy equipment. Field sampling on a claim or exploration site: collect representative material and evaluate gold content before deploying larger gear. Teaching or demonstration: an accessible tool for demonstrating panning methods to new prospectors or students. Practical notes Best used with standard panning techniques: a steady wash-and-pan motion and attention to riffle placement will maximize recovery. Low-maintenance: rinse clean after use and store dry to prolong life. This 15-inch durable plastic gold pan with molded riffles is built for reliable, portable manual prospecting—designed to help you recover more gold efficiently in the field.
