Gold Cube Banjo Pan with Vortex Matting for Wet and Dry Panning

The Gold Cube Banjo Pan is a classification pan with removable vortex matting that works wet, dry, or fully submerged. Prospectors running material in streams or working dry washes get a compact tool that separates heavies from lighter material through a rocking motion over textured liner. The drop-bottom design lets you nest multiple pans for transport, and the four color options (black, blue, green, pink) help you track which pan holds concentrates versus raw material when you're running multiple batches.

What's Included with the Banjo Pan

• Gold Cube Banjo Pan with integrated nugget trap
• Removable vortex matting liner

Why Prospectors Reach for the Banjo Pan

• Wet or dry operation: works in running water, with a bucket, or completely dry in the field without needing a water source nearby.
• Submersible design: the vortex matting stays secure underwater, so you can classify material directly in the stream without losing fines.
• Removable matting for fast cleanout: pull the liner into the pan itself and finish with standard panning techniques instead of fighting trapped material in fixed riffles.
• Drop-bottom nesting: stack multiple pans in your pack without the bulk of traditional round pans.
• Nugget trap at the neck: catches coarse gold before it reaches the matting, speeds final cleanup when you're running nugget-bearing material.

Hard Plastic Construction with Removable Vortex Liner

The Banjo Pan uses hard plastic for the body and a separate vortex matting liner that drops into the classification area. The matting sits below the material bed, and a rocking motion pushes lighter sediment over the textured surface while heavies settle into the grooves. When you've worked the material down, lift the liner out and dump it into the pan section for final panning. The drop-bottom design means the pan base detaches for cleaning and the whole unit nests with other Banjo Pans when you're carrying several. Four colors (black, blue, green, pink) let you color-code pans by material type or concentrate stage. Browse more tools in our gold pans & panning kits collection.
