TerraX Le Trap Square Gold Pan for Fine Gold Recovery

The Le Trap Square Gold Pan is a riffled plastic pan designed for prospectors working rivers, streams, and pay dirt cleanup. Its 18in x 12in x 4in dimensions provide a large working area without the bulk of traditional round pans, and the square shape lets you process more material per session while the deep riffled sides trap fine gold and black sands. Prospectors who run pay dirt at home or concentrate material in the field reach for this pan when they need efficient fine gold recovery without sacrificing portability. The green plastic construction is lightweight enough for all-day use and durable enough for rocky creek beds.

What's Included with the Le Trap Square Gold Pan

• TerraX Le Trap Square Gold Pan (18in x 12in x 4in, green plastic)

Why Prospectors Working Fine Gold Reach for the Le Trap

• The riffled edges trap fine gold and black sands that wash over smooth pans, giving you better recovery on flour gold and concentrates.
• The 18in x 12in working area processes more material per pan than a standard 14-inch round pan, cutting your cleanup time when you're running pay dirt or sampling creek gravel.
• Lightweight green plastic construction makes it easy to carry into remote drainages and won't fatigue your wrists during multi-hour panning sessions.
• Made in the USA, ensuring trusted quality and craftsmanship for serious gold pans & panning kits.

Riffled Square Design for Efficient Material Processing

The Le Trap's deep riffles run along all four edges, creating multiple trap zones that catch fine gold as you swirl and tilt the pan. The square geometry gives you straight edges to work against when you're classifying material or scraping concentrates into a vial, and the 4-inch depth holds enough gravel that you're not constantly refilling. Prospectors working black sand concentrates appreciate the contrast between the green plastic and dark material, which makes it easier to spot color during the final cleanup. The pan's corners don't collect material the way round pans do, so you spend less time chasing flour gold around the rim.

• Best for: Fine gold recovery in pay dirt, black sand concentrates, and creek sampling where you need to process multiple pans per session.
• Less ideal for: Prospectors who prefer the traditional round-pan swirling motion or who work in tight spaces where a square pan is harder to maneuver.
