Grizzly gold pan question

[cedarratt]

I have a grizzly gold pan and while I like its operation for test panning in bulk but find it a rather inconveint design. I am considering JB welding a set of Handles on to it to make it easier to work. Has anyone else thought about doing this?? I still have all my Garrett pans and Like them for clean up and to examin the concentrates from the grizzly but I do like how fast the grizzly works. Anyways any thoughts on adding handles...

Hey cedarratt ....You have to do what you feels is right....If you think it will work better for you put the handles on....I use the garret pans because they fit my small hands better than the others. It all comes down to what works for you....Art

Interesting idea.. How about using u channel (Facing toward the bottom) attatched to the long sides, extending a couple inches or so, far enough to mount the handles.. Then you could make a stand out of rods to fit the side rails so you could slide the pan back and forth on the stand, using one hand and feeding with the other.. Don't forget to tether the plug to the pan so you don't lose it.. I mounted a couple of thin aluminum strips on each side of the botton so I can't knock the plug out by accident..
Just a idea,
