Gold Pan Gold Prospecting Tool

Gold prospecting pan for sediment sampling

This gold prospecting pan is a hand tool for washing sediment and concentrating heavier particles that may include placer gold. A gold prospecting pan does not detect buried metal electronically and should be chosen for the amount of sample and the user’s preferred handling size.

Gold prospecting pan technique

To use a gold prospecting pan, break up clumps, remove large stones and wash lighter material away gradually while retaining the dense fraction. A gold prospecting pan works through gravity separation; practise with a known sample before interpreting the final concentrate.
