Great pan! Large to run more material. Got a few flakes on try e first go and catches flour gold pretty good too! Use it on my claim here in the Yukon. Read more

I own three of these, I gave the fourth one to my neighbor as a gift. I keep them in my vehicles for if the opportunity presents itself for panning. They are very reasonably priced and well made. The large riffles and wide bottom make this my go-to pan of choice. If I could only have one, this would be it. The only pan that retains gold better and is faster to use is the Gold Claw pan (which I highly recommend but is kind of expensive). Lastly, you can use it dry to concentrate material for panning later, there are instructions on how to do this on the underside. A useful thing if you live as I do in one of the driest, hottest deserts in the world. If you get one, you won't regret it. Read more

Great size, gets through alot of material fast Read more

Each pan has their own character, a combination of quirks, flaws, strengths, deep scratches, etc… This pan can go through material quickly without losing gold. The size is great, it’s nice and deep, and it pairs very nicely with my all plastic Garrett classifier… I first thought that I might use this pan to do the initial bulk of the processing and switch to a different pan when I got down to mostly black sand and gold… But this pan does a great job at the finer stages as well… I’ve seen reviews where some love it and some don’t… I think the folks that don’t love it are not using it properly. My guess is that they don’t understand how quick and aggressive you can be with this pan and still keep a hold of all the gold… I tested it myself using pure black sand and 14 tiny flakes of placer… I mixed that really well with dirt and gravel, and tested to see how fast is too fast… Even at my most aggressive, I got all 14 pieces of gold. That gave me a ton of confidence in its abilities at the stream… And no, I never “season” my plastic pans… That happens naturally the very first time you use any plastic pan (I honestly think that seasoning hokey was started as a joke on newbies, just to see if they were gullible enough to take sand paper and soap to a plastic pan) Anyway… This is a great pan with a very good design.
