What whould u like to see in a pan

gold!
 

I don't think it's possible create anything new in a gold pan. You have metal pans and plastic pans. drop-bottom and standard. flat side and riffled (large, small and combo). round pans, square pans, hex pans. manual pans and auto pans. every color you could imagine.

What more do you think you could change?
 

I'd like a battery powered vibrator to walk the small gold out of the black sands, as all that tapping wears me out:laughing7:

I was thinking a clean up pan like the 49 pan but add some ripples to the sand paper. Maybe also a place where u can screw a vile in and drop you gold straight in to it.
 

Here's what I like to see in a pan.
This is from one sample pan of material not a cleanup pan.
Never saw one like it before or since. And YES, this spot has been claimed:icon_thumleft:

It's the pan that has like sand paper on one side of it. Have u seen it? The sand paper is for you fine gold recovery but i don't know need work.
 

Underburden, that sample pan is fantastic! Why don't you add this to the "Show me your best finds" thread in the sluicing forum.
 

Any gold in a pan is a good pan.
 

A pan shaped somewhat like a chinese hat with a screw cap at the point so instead of washing all the crap off the top you could unscrew it & have the heavies in the screw cap.

Not following u on that one
 

Try a lid to a pot. Unscrew the handle so there is a hole. Hold your finger over the hole, put some cons containing gold and stratify. Take your finger off the hole for a second & gold will come out.

You can do the same with a gold pan. Drill a hole in the bottom edge & stratify on that edge with your finger over the hole. Drain a few times into another pan & then pan fast for any gold larger than the hole.

What you guys think about the hexagon shape gold pans ??
 

I don't care for all the changes to pan design. I think they are gimmicks at best, and interfere with actual panning at worst. Round pan is all you need. Small riffles aren't bad, but big ones can be more of a hindrance.
 

My Fav pan is the 10" Blue Keene Pan followed by the old standby Garrett Gravity Drop.
