Garrett Gold Pans

Garrett’s famous Gravity Trap gold pan series enhances the efficiency and outcome of every prospecting adventure. This pan expands its floor size by 33% compared to traditional 14" gold pans, allowing for more material to be processed with each use. Its patent-pending, offset, acentric design optimizes the panning surface and angle, ensuring effective and rapid gold recovery in wet and dry conditions.

The Gold Trap Pan has a 90° riffled design that traps the gold as the material is washed over the pan. This prevents valuable finds from being lost. This product is made from lightweight, durable materials and a light green color to enhance gold nugget visibility. Its design has been proven and tested by thousands of gold prospectors worldwide, demonstrating Garrett’s commitment to quality and reliability.

 

How to Use a Gold Pan

• Fill the pan with the material you’ve collected. The larger the floor size, the more material you can process, which increases your chances of finding gold.
• Gently shake the pan while slightly rotating it, allowing the gold to settle at the bottom and wash away the waste material and dirt.
• Continue shaking and rotating the pan with water, allowing it to wash away the lighter material while the gold stays put.
• Once you’ve sifted everything down to the gold, use a snuffer bottle to collect the gold from the pan and store it in a vial.
