Same mfg but may be imported from China.
Don't care for the useless tiny riffle area. By the time you get down to that little bit of material, just use the swirl method and be done with it.

Plastic is better. Hard to get a steel pan scratched up nice. Also, that steel will get dented pretty easy.

it was plastic. im good with my 14" prospector pan, i just figured id share what i found.

I liked the nice sharp large riffles but seldom used the micro riffles.
Looks pretty shiny, better break it in before using.

I had a blue one like it years ago and gave it to my son.

To be honest my favorite is the Gold Catcher GPAA gave me.

These look great up on the wall, a big pan doesn't mean big gold. Lol. Get a garrett pan.

Just goes to show how often I am wrong! It looks like steel in the pic. Are pans like rifles? As in, beware of the man with only one rifle, he knows how to use it!

I've got one but it seldom gets used. Whatever pan you get scratch it up good to remove the oil and slickness or wave goodbye to the contents....
