Panning videos

So I know I said I was buying a deluxe panning kit by garrett but I ended up buying a small kit which did not come with the 15in super sluice pan how important is that pan and is there any good videos on proper panning technique.

Go to youtube and type in "gold panning made easy 40 + years experiance" it is a very good video on pannig and the old guy is entertaining also. Also don't forget to condition the pan.

Good Luck!

I have the 15" Super Sluice. It is a big beast of a pan, heavy or durable depending on how you look at it. For regular field work, I prefer my Proline 14"...the Super Sluice might be the best choice for those going somewhere that doesn't allow regular sluices as it would maximize your throughput (assuming you learn to use it aggressively) if you are strong enough to use it all day.

Check the panning video on the intro page of Heritage Gold Mine Park I am the Park Manager for a historic gold mine in McCormick, SC and this is the technique I teach to first-time panners and as the introductory instruction for potential new GPAA chapter members. I use the Park material to teach them the basics of panning, to see how gold behaves, what gold looks like, and what imposters look like. Once they master the panning on crushed rock and coarse gold, I encourage them to go to the creek and meet their next challenge: sticky, gooey clay, lots of black sand, and incredibly fine gold that you cant even feel under your finger.
