Garrett Super Sluice 15" Gold Pan with Two 1/2" Riffles

The Garrett Super Sluice is the largest pan in Garrett's patented Gravity Trap series, a 15 inch gold pan built to move a lot of material fast. It suits prospectors who want to test gravel quickly, work through cons from a classifier, or hand a forgiving first pan to a beginner, because the deep 90-degree riffles hold gold securely even with an aggressive panning motion. Garrett also spells it SuperSluice; it is the same pan.

Which Gravity Trap Pan Should You Get?

Bigger is faster but heavier when loaded: a full 15 inch pan of wet gravel is a workout, and if you mostly sample small amounts of material or pan sitting at a creek edge, a 10 inch or 14 inch pan may serve you better. If you are starting from zero, a complete kit with a classifier and snuffer bottle is usually the better first purchase; our guide to the best gold panning kits for beginners compares the options, and Garrett's own pan kits include this pan's smaller siblings. Everything pan-related we carry is in our gold prospecting equipment range.

Using the Super Sluice

The two 1/2 inch riffles on the 90-degree wall act like a sluice inside a pan: gold drops behind them while lighter material washes over, which is what lets Garrett rate this design to trap everything from fine gold to nuggets over 1 ounce. The deep-throat funnel shape keeps material centered as you swirl, so less slops out when you work quickly. It performs in wet or dry conditions, and dry panning is where the wide 15 inch mouth earns its keep, since dry material needs more tosses to stratify. The green color is deliberate: gold shows against green far better than against black. If panning technique is new to you, our step-by-step how to pan for gold guide covers stratifying, tapping the riffles, and finishing a pan without losing colors.
