The Pancake Gold Pan

Gold pans have not changed in design for close to 4,000 years. They are all essentially just bowls with a rough surface to slow the gold down.

The problem with 100% of all of those pans is it requires you to tip the pan to shed off the light materials.

Which is fine if you know what you're doing. But if you don't then you will absolutely lose gold.

The pancake pan takes out the learning curve. Acts like a big pan with lots more capacity. And, so long as you don't over load it, retains 98% of your gold with no effort.

Yeah, it's kinda small, it can only do a little dirt at a time and it looks weird. It will also NOT replace a normal gold pan. It's made for processing, not prospecting.

It makes up for that in being fast. Watch the videos I linked and you'll see it in action powering through buckets of dirt in minutes.

*How to use, a rough guide*

- Fill the Central ring with paydirt to about 3" high, classified or not, doesn't matter. 

- Put the entire pan and dirt underwater, saturating the dirt.

- Hold the pan dead level and make gentle, tight, circles underwater and watch the dirt spread and fall off the pan.

- Repeat until your buckets done.

- you will have cons in every ring, put the pan under water and make slightly hard circles, this will bring everything to the centre.

- To reveal the gold either tip it into a regular pan or use the pancake pan like a normal pan and wash the cons over the riffles.

- Hold pan just under the water and roll it around, this will spread the gold out in the central circle.
