The TurboPan 10" gold pan works differently from a traditional Klondike-style pan: molded spiral riffles channel gold and heavy minerals into a central trap, so the pan behaves like a circular sluice. That design eliminates the compaction problems beginners fight with flat pans, and it separates material fast enough that you can work puddles, troughs, and low-water spots where conventional panning is miserable.
Key Features
- Sluice-in-a-pan design: spiral riffles feed gold into a central trap instead of relying on technique alone
- Works in minimal water: puddles and troughs are enough; no running stream required
- Shallow 5cm edge depth: speeds separation and reduces wrist fatigue over a long session
- Suits every level: forgiving for beginners, fast for experienced prospectors processing test holes
Specifications
- Diameter: 10 inches
- Material: Plastic
- Color: Black
- Capacity: About 6 kg of material at the recommended 3/4 fill
