Supersluice Gold Pan, 15"

This is one serious gold pan! So if you are a serious gold prospector or hoping to be one pick this pan up. Yes truly the Gold Rush is on but not as much as you would think there are a lot more people out looking for gold than there were 15 years ago but considering back in the 1800's all the way to the 1950's gold stayed under 30.00 an ounce and now it is 1300.00 an ounce the only reason one is not out looking for gold is pure laziness. There is not much else you can do that has the potential of making you 600+ dollars a day for a good hard working day of shoveling. Certainly not ditch digging! It will get you into Rock Star shape again and maybe make you a little bit happier and richer. communing with nature hearing the flowing stream, enjoying the wind in the pine trees and of course lots and lots of GOLD!!!! This Pan will Get you some for sure, The ridges are deep and that combined with the fact that gold is 19 times heavier than water once you get your stratification technique down you will not be losing that GOLD!!! Of course the secret is to be digging in a hole that has gold to begin with! I have been using the 14 and 10 inch Garrett pans for years I have also used the Roaring Camp Gold Saver Pan. All are great pans but to tell you the truth, this one is it is a bit over whelming when you first open the box at 15 inches this pan is huge!!! Its only 1 inch larger than what I am used to but that one in is quite a bit! Size does matter after all, at least in the world of gold pans. The ridges are deep and it is an amazing pan I cannot wait to hit the creek. it is an amazing deal and less than 9.00 when this pan first came out mining stores it my area were selling it for 35.00. You cannot go wrong it is well made beautiful and if it is too big for your hands it will look really cool hanging on a nail in the house! What a Screaming Deal!!! Thanks Garrett and Amazon. Heading To Happy Camp Next week. Because there is Still Gold in them Thar Hills!

I've been using this gold pan for awhile now and I've had 0 complaints with it, Once I seasoned the pan it worked perfectly for even the tiniest gold! It is a giant gold pan but made well and very durable!

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.

Best goldpan out there. No frills, no awkward design. Thick, sturdy and heavy duty. If your arms can handle 1/4+ of a bucket of classified material, this pan will take it, and take it without much flexing. The larger riffles can and will hold, everything down to flour gold and not let go. Excellent pan for beginners due to the wider bottom and large riffles which make it alot more forgiving, and more difficult for gold to slip past, especially for new prospectors gaining experience. A great pan for testing and sampling new areas without wasting much time.One issue (and im just nit picking and looking for a complaint) is raised circles on the bottom due to the molding process. Are these really an issue? Not likely. A little sandpaper wipes them out easily and they will disappear after a good seasoning and some use. Definitely season this pan (and any pan) well to remove oils and molding residue. This pan is heavy in hand and large at 15 inches, so probably not the best pan for kids or those who are arm length challanged.All in all, great pan.

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.

Best pan I’ve ever used. Get one!!

I really enjoy the size and sturdiness of the Garrett Super Sluice gold pan. However, there is a catch...The riffles are so large that when you pan your material, you end up with a lot of concentrates in that first riffle. This means that you'll have a lot more material to work through when you back pan it.I highly recommend running your paydirt through a classifier to keep the big, disruptive material out of that first riffle in the pan. I was able to capture very fine flour as well as larger pickers with confidence.Deducted one star in the review because there is only one pair of large riffles. Another set of smaller riffles would be nice to have as well.
