About This Gold Pan
Garrett's BackPacker series represents 30+ years of gold pan innovation, tested worldwide by Charles Garrett, Roy Lagal, and thousands of prospectors. The 90° riffle angle creates optimal water flow patterns that separate gold from black sand and gravel more efficiently than traditional pan designs.
The deep funnel design concentrates material at the bottom, making it easier to spot gold and reducing the risk of losing precious finds during the panning process. At 10 inches, this pan strikes the perfect balance between processing capacity and portability - ideal for prospectors who need to hike to remote locations.
Whether you're panning creek beds, testing concentrates from your sluice box, or finishing material from a highbanker setup, this pan delivers consistent results. The green color isn't just aesthetic - it provides maximum contrast against gold's natural color, making even tiny flakes easier to spot.
Perfect For
Recreational prospectors, electronic gold detector users needing a finishing pan, and anyone seeking reliable gold recovery equipment. This pan works equally well for wet panning in streams or dry panning desert concentrates.
