Which pans are better to use

[gravelMaster]

I realize that America just loves its' plastics, while a considerable portion of the world uses steel. Since we all know what plastic pans look like, I've foregone the use of a plastic image of a pan. Instead, I've included a video of a miner using a steel pan.

Below is an image of a steel pan -

There is, indeed, a myriad of choices...for me, I'll take my Garrett pans.

IMO, more important than the pan is your skill at using it.

My favorite pan is the 16” ribbed steel estwing pan, second favorite is my Garrett super sluice.

I grew up with a metal pan and love it. But now that I am panning a lot more and older I wanted something lighter. I am not a fan of the Garret pan at all. I think the Proline pan is much better, faster and easier to pan down to only gold. I just picked up a Keene pan but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

IMO the best pan is one that you know how to use . I've tried a LOT of pans over the years and I got rid of most of them and kept my original GPAA pan the Ole George pushed on us over the years ! I like it and used to use it often!
