A gold pan is the most basic way to recover gold from gold bearing material. We offer several different brands, styles, and colors of gold prospecting pans to suit nearly any need. Gold pan sizes range from as small as 6" in diameter up to 16" and are available in plastic or steel.  Gold pans are a necessity for every miner or prospector.  Gold pans are used by prospectors as they are out and about scouting for potentially profitable locations to set up a mining operation.  They are a very light and compact tool that can be carried very easily in a backpack and take up very little room due to their shape and the ability to pack other items inside the pan.  Different riffles styles allow for different uses.  Larger, deeper, and more aggressive riffles are used for prospecting and pans with smaller riffles serve a great purpose as a "clean up" pan.  Please browse our wide selection of gold pans and contact us if you have any questions.
