This gold pan is designed for reliable, repeatable alluvial gold recovery. It combines riffle technology, a flat ripple sidewall, and durable ABS construction to make panning more efficient, portable, and long-lasting. Key benefits Efficient recovery: Riffle technology captures all sizes of alluvial gold particles, including fine material, reducing the chance of missing small flakes. Better separation: The flat ripple sidewall works like a lock box to trap heavier particles and separate gold from other heavy minerals more effectively than a smooth pan. Durable and lightweight: Moulded from high-quality ABS, the pan is rust-proof, impact-resistant and floats for easier handling and safety in water. Portable and practical: At 38 cm in diameter, the pan is large enough for realistic samples yet compact and light for field use. Color options: Available in four colours — black, blue, green, for blue — to suit visibility and personal preference. Specifications Function: Alluvial gold and heavy mineral separation Technology: Riffle collection with flat ripple sidewall (lock-box style) Material: High-quality ABS (moulded) Diameter: 38 cm Properties: Lightweight, rust-proof, durable, floats Colours: Black / Blue / Green / For blue How it solves common panning problems Missing fine gold: Riffle design creates micro-traps that retain fine particles during washing and agitation. Poor separation: Flat ripple sidewall prevents heavy minerals from escaping and concentrates material for quicker assessment. Fragile tools: ABS construction resists cracking and corrosion, extending field life compared with metal pans. Practical use scenarios 1. Stream and river panning: Use the 38 cm pan at riffles and behind rocks to concentrate black sand and gold; the floating, lightweight design makes handling in flowing water simple and safe. 2. Field sampling and prospecting: Quickly test multiple sites by collecting and processing samples on-site; the riffles improve fine-particle recovery so you get truer assay results. 3. Educational demonstrations and hobby panning: The visible ripple action and color options help demonstrate separation principles while remaining durable for repeated use. What to expect in the field Faster concentration of heavy minerals and gold, even in fine-grained deposits. Easier handling and longer service life thanks to rust-proof, impact-resistant ABS. Clear visual separation and recovery thanks to the lock-box style ripple sidewall. This gold pan offers a practical, field-ready option for prospectors, hobbyists, and professionals looking for consistent recovery of alluvial gold and other heavy minerals.
