- A shallow pan shape, so you can swirl water and sediment by hand
- A wide rim and sloped sides, made for sifting through gravel and silt

- Sized for one-hand use, made for hobby prospecting trips outdoors
- Made to order in the USA after you place your order
Gold Pan V2 sits in your hand with a shallow bowl shape built for sifting sediment. You swirl water and gravel around the sloped sides, letting lighter material spill out while heavier bits settle at the bottom. It is a simple tool for anyone curious about gold prospecting as a hobby.
The pan carries a wide rim and a smooth curve, shaped for the swirling motion prospectors use to separate material by hand. It works alongside a creek, a river bank, or any spot where you sift through gravel looking for flecks of gold.
This is the second version of the design, refined for a lighter build that you can carry from site to site. It suits hobby prospectors, beginners learning to pan, or anyone who wants a hands-on outdoor activity.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
