{"product":{"id":8289370472732,"title":"XP Metal Detectors Gold Pan Premium Kit for Gold Prospecting","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe XP Gold Pan Premium Kit is a complete panning and classification system that pairs two pans (11-inch and 15-inch), two stackable classifiers (5mm and 10mm mesh), and a collection accessory set for prospectors working creek beds, dry washes, and riverbanks. XP built the kit for detectorists who run the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/collections\/xp\"\u003eXP ORX\u003c\/a\u003e or similar high-frequency machines and need a matched panning setup to process detector targets and concentrate samples. The snake-skin texture on both pans traps fine gold during finishing, the blue contrast makes flakes visible against black sand, and the stackable design fits in a backpack. We've used the 15-inch pan on Kern River trips where the wide flat base handles high-volume material, and the 11-inch finisher holds back flour gold the riffles miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the XP Gold Pan Premium Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP Gold Prospectors 11-inch Gold Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP Gold Prospectors 15-inch Gold Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP Gold Prospectors 15-inch Gold Classifier with 5mm mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP Gold Prospectors 15-inch Gold Classifier with 10mm mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 mini specimen tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePipette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150ml suction bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVial for storing gold nuggets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoupe magnifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Prospectors Reach for the XP Premium Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStackable classifiers sift two mesh sizes in one pass, cutting classification time when you're working bucket loads of paydirt from a detector signal or a known pay zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnake-skin texture on both pans holds fine gold that conventional smooth riffles let escape, a measurable advantage when you're finishing black sand concentrates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue pan contrast makes spotting sub-millimeter flakes easier against dark material, reducing eyestrain during long panning sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact nested storage fits the full kit in a daypack, useful for hike-in prospecting where you're carrying a detector, digging tools, and sample bags.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete accessory set means you can collect, inspect, and store finds in the field without separate purchases.

We run the 10mm classifier on top to pull rocks and roots, then the 5mm underneath catches pebbles and coarse gravel, leaving fines in the pan. The working zone on each classifier is 30cm, wider than most prospecting sieves, so you're not shaking the same material for minutes. In desert washes where the soil is dry and clumpy, the double-sieve setup breaks down caliche and clay faster than a single screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCreek-Bed Classification After a Detector Signal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the ORX hits a faint high-frequency signal in a gravel bar, we dig the target zone into a bucket and run it through both classifiers over the 15-inch pan. The 10mm mesh drops large cobbles, the 5mm catches the mid-range, and the pan holds the fines where the gold sits. The XP classifiers nest into the pan rim, so you're not juggling separate buckets. If you're new to prospecting workflows, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/pages\/best-gold-panning-guide\"\u003egold panning guide\u003c\/a\u003e covers the full classification and finishing sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDry-Wash Sampling in Arid Terrain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn dry washes where moisture is absent, the classifiers break up hardpan and separate size fractions before you add water for panning. The stacked setup lets you process a five-gallon bucket in one sifting pass, useful when you're testing multiple spots along a wash. The 5mm classifier is the final stage before panning, it removes the last of the pebbles so the 15-inch pan only handles sand and potential gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares to other XP gold prospecting kits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/products\/xp-metal-detectors-gold-pan-starter-kit-for-gold-prospecting\"\u003eStarter Kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/products\/xp-metal-detectors-gold-batea-kit-for-gold-prospecting\"\u003eBatea Kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePremium Kit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePans Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pan (15in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 batea (20in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 pans (11in, 15in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassifiers Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 classifier (10mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 classifier (10mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 classifiers (5mm, 10mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCollection Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBatea Defragmenter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/xp-gold-pan-premium-kit_2.jpg?v=1695909523\" alt=\"XP Gold Pan Premium Kit with two pans, two classifiers, and collection accessories\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePans Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11in (27cm) and 15in (37cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassifiers Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15in (37cm) with 5mm mesh and 10mm mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePan Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snake-skin with 4 panning zones (large 90° riffles, mini riffles, sandy zone, finishing zone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassifier Working Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30cm sieving diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue (optimal contrast for gold visibility)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-impact UV-resistant plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 mini specimen tubes, pipette, 150ml suction bottle, vial, loupe magnifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stackable for compact transport and storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3fygNe2cmos?\u0026amp;autoplay=1\u0026amp;mute=1\u0026amp;si=xpFiJoOkhaRSglMu\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Serious Detecting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerious Detecting is an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/pages\/customer-care__about-us\"\u003eauthorized XP Metal Detectors dealer\u003c\/a\u003e, so the Premium Kit ships with XP's full 2-year manufacturer warranty.
