Garrett Supersluice Gold Pan, 15 inch

I love this gold pan. I'm not the only one either. Every time I let someone use it I don't get it returned before the mining season is over. The quality is awesome. This pan has thicker plastic than most pans out there. Running all types of material from big rocks to fine clay. You can't beat the deep well riffles. The pan is so easy to use, I've started teaching my two year old granddaughter how to use it. This pan w will accommodate any size hands big or small.

This is one serious gold pan! So if you are a serious gold prospector or hoping to be one pick this pan up. Yes truly the Gold Rush is on but not as much as you would think there are a lot more people out looking for gold than there were 15 years ago but considering back in the 1800's all the way to the 1950's gold stayed under 30.00 an ounce and now it is 1300.00 an ounce the only reason one is not out looking for gold is pure laziness. There is not much else you can do that has the potential of making you 600+ dollars a day for a good hard working day of shoveling. Certainly not ditch digging! It will get you into Rock Star shape again and maybe make you a little bit happier and richer. communing with nature hearing the flowing stream, enjoying the wind in the pine trees and of course lots and lots of GOLD!!!! This Pan will Get you some for sure, The ridges are deep and that combined with the fact that gold is 19 times heavier than water once you get your stratification technique down you will not be losing that GOLD!!! Of course the secret is to be digging in a hole that has gold to begin with! I have been using the 14 and 10 inch Garrett pans for years I have also used the Roaring Camp Gold Saver Pan. All are great pans but to tell you the truth, this one is it is a bit over whelming when you first open the box at 15 inches this pan is huge!!! Its only 1 inch larger than what I am used to but that one in is quite a bit! Size does matter after all, at least in the world of gold pans. The ridges are deep and it is an amazing pan I cannot wait to hit the creek. it is an amazing deal and less than 9.00 when this pan first came out mining stores it my area were selling it for 35.00. You cannot go wrong it is well made beautiful and if it is too big for your hands it will look really cool hanging on a nail in the house! What a Screaming Deal!!! Thanks Garrett and Amazon. Heading To Happy Camp Next week. Because there is Still Gold in them Thar Hills!

Works very well. I used some 220 grit sandpaper to make sure the gold stuck better and I ended up finding gold in my first pan full. It's big enough to work a lot of material and very sturdy. Gold and black sand shows up very well.

Very well made! The best

Best goldpan out there. No frills, no awkward design. Thick, sturdy and heavy duty. If your arms can handle 1/4+ of a bucket of classified material, this pan will take it, and take it without much flexing. The larger riffles can and will hold, everything down to flour gold and not let go. Excellent pan for beginners due to the wider bottom and large riffles which make it alot more forgiving, and more difficult for gold to slip past, especially for new prospectors gaining experience. A great pan for testing and sampling new areas without wasting much time. One issue (and im just nit picking and looking for a complaint) is raised circles on the bottom due to the molding process. Are these really an issue? Not likely. A little sandpaper wipes them out easily and they will disappear after a good seasoning and some use. Definitely season this pan (and any pan) well to remove oils and molding residue. This pan is heavy in hand and large at 15 inches, so probably not the best pan for kids or those who are arm length challanged. All in all, great pan.

Can't wait to use it. It was bigger and stronger than it looks in pic.

I really enjoy the size and sturdiness of the Garrett Super Sluice gold pan. However, there is a catch... The riffles are so large that when you pan your material, you end up with a lot of concentrates in that first riffle. This means that you'll have a lot more material to work through when you back pan it. I highly recommend running your paydirt through a classifier to keep the big, disruptive material out of that first riffle in the pan. I was able to capture very fine flour as well as larger pickers with confidence. Deducted one star in the review because there is only one pair of large riffles. Another set of smaller riffles would be nice to have as well.

Probably the best sluice you could buy. Filters heavy metals very well. Gold, garnets etc.

Amazing piece of equipment. Cost more than I could have got from the site but with amazon prime worked out the same without the 2 week wait. How does anyone not have prime now. If your just getting into panning or are seasoned at it I definitely recommend this pan. I panned off some old tailings I have had kicking around and found a lot more small flakes and powdered gold. If you can only get one pan this is it.

Perfect and quick delivery.

I tested the pan today with several table spoons of tailings that I had already back-panned with another pan (mostly black sand and small garnet material) I seeded it with one small flake and a smaller spec. It back-panned perfectly. Every spec of black sand was at the bottom of the pan. The flake and spec I seeded were perfectly clean top-center. I didn't even have to tap. Not only did it find the flake and spec I seeded, but also a few tiny specs I must have missed on a previous clean-up that ended up in my tailings. I have a lot of gold pans, but I think this one will be my new "go to". Can't wait to try it out on the mighty Fraser River!

Well designed, strong and durable having to endure rocky rivers and streams.The ridges on one side do make panning quicker and easier for a novice and as you become more practiced you have the option of the smooth side.

Much better than any of my other pans, Great big ripple which even stops 100 mesh partials running off.And the delivery was first class on time.
