About This Gold Pan
The TerraX 10" plastic gold pan solves the biggest challenge in gold prospecting - losing fine gold during the panning process. Its dual riffle system gives you two different trapping methods in one pan. Use the shallow riffles for initial classification and the deep riffles for final cleanup work.
The black plastic construction isn't just about durability (though it won't rust like steel pans). The consistent dark color makes it much easier to spot gold flakes and nuggets during your final cleanup. Many prospectors miss gold simply because they can't see it against an inconsistent pan surface.
At just 10 inches, this pan hits the sweet spot for most prospecting situations. It's large enough to process material efficiently but still manageable when you're hiking to remote locations. The deep round base concentrates material at the center, preventing gold from washing over the edges during aggressive panning.
Perfect for Beginners and Experienced Prospectors
This pan works equally well for weekend prospectors learning the basics and experienced miners who need a reliable backup pan. The dual riffle design is forgiving - if you're too aggressive with the shallow side, the deep riffles will catch what you might have lost.
