The four-zone system provides a structured approach to panning that guides you through the classification process step by step. Start with the large riffles to clear coarse material, work down to the mini riffles for fine sand, use the Snake Skin zone to trap flour gold, and finish in the smooth center for final inspection. The wide diameter and shallow profile make it easier to control water flow and material movement than deeper pans, and the blue contrast helps spot gold flakes during the learning phase.
