Minelab PRO-GOLD 15" Gold Pan with Dual Riffle System

The Minelab PRO-GOLD 15" Gold Pan uses a dual riffle system and three distinct panning zones to capture fine gold particles that slip through standard single-riffle designs. Prospectors working concentrates from sluice boxes and highbankers face the problem of losing fine gold during the final cleanup stage, the 90° riffles trap larger nuggets while the precision mini riffles grab particles that would normally wash away. Made from polypropylene that won't crack in cold weather, the 15-inch diameter provides enough capacity for serious prospecting sessions without the fatigue of oversized pans.

Why Prospectors Reach for the PRO-GOLD 15" Pan

• Recover fine gold with precision mini riffles engineered to catch small particles that escape standard riffle designs during the final cleanup stage.
• Trap larger nuggets using deep 90° riffles that prevent gold from washing over the edge when you're processing high-volume material.
• Pan efficiently with the flat sidewall zone that gives you smooth control for spreading material and inspecting concentrates.
• Handle temperature extremes with polypropylene construction that won't warp in desert heat or crack during cold-weather prospecting trips.
• Work all day with a 15-inch diameter that balances capacity and portability, large enough for serious sessions but manageable for extended use.

Three-Zone Design for Complete Gold Recovery

The PRO-GOLD pan divides the interior into three functional zones that each handle a different stage of the panning process. The outer zone carries the 90° riffles that catch larger gold pieces during the initial wash when you're moving high volumes of gravel and sand. The middle zone holds the mini riffles that grab fine gold as you work down to concentrates, these smaller riffles create turbulence that separates gold from black sand without losing particles over the rim. The flat sidewall section gives you a smooth surface for the final cleanup, spreading your concentrates thin so you can inspect every speck. Our team runs this pan on concentrates from both sluice boxes and highbankers, and the three-zone layout ensures we're not leaving gold in the tailings. Polypropylene construction handles the abuse of rocky creeks and sandy washes without developing stress cracks, and the material stays flexible enough in cold conditions that the riffles don't snap when you're working mountain streams in early spring.
