Designed to make gold recovery faster and easier, this pan combines visual contrast, smart riffling, and rugged construction so you spend less time searching and more time collecting. Key benefits Improved gold visibility and recovery: the black contrast body and shallow grooves make it simple to spot and scoop up gold flakes quickly. Effective separation and retention: a thoughtfully designed concave pattern accelerates impurity removal while holding fine gold particles steady in river shallows. Built for remote and rugged use: engineered for limited infrastructure adaptation, the pan delivers consistent results across mountain rivers and varied terrain where equipment and facilities are minimal. Durable, wearresistant construction: built to withstand abrasive environments so the pan remains reliable over repeated use. Portable and ergonomic: lightweight, easy to carry and comfortable to handle for extended rockhounding or prospecting sessions. Function, compatibility, and performance Function: visual contrast plus shallow grooves and a concave pattern work together to separate lighter material and retain heavy gold. Compatibility: performs well in moving water, shallow rivers, mountain streams, and other field conditions with minimal setup. Performance: consistent goldflake recovery and stable fineparticle retention even in challenging terrain. Use scenarios Mountain river prospecting: sluice through gravel and pull the pan into calm pools to quickly locate flakes against the dark background. Shallow stream panning: speed impurity separation and retain fine gold in river shallows with the concave pattern and shallow grooves. Remote rockhounding trips: compact and ergonomic for carrying into areas with limited infrastructure where you need reliable, lowmaintenance gear. Reliable, straightforward design for hobbyists and field prospectors who need a portable, durable pan that improves visibility, separation, and finegold retention without extra complexity.
