Gold pans by GoldenShark – traditional technique, modern quality
A gold pan is the simplest and most iconic tool in gold prospecting. It's been used for centuries to recover gold from sand and gravel using the natural force of water and gravity. At GoldenShark, we offer high-quality gold pans designed to work efficiently in real-world conditions – whether you're panning in the wild or cleaning sluice concentrates at home.
How does it work?
When moved in gentle circular motions, the pan allows heavier gold to settle at the bottom, while lighter materials wash away. Our pans feature multiple riffle zones to help trap and hold gold effectively. Available in black, green, and blue for maximum visibility of gold flakes.
Perfect for training and field use
Gold pans are ideal for learning how gold behaves in water. They're great for beginners, kids, and experienced prospectors alike. Use them to practice your technique, explore new areas, or recover gold from your concentrates. Their compact size makes them easy to carry anywhere.
Built to last
Our pans are made from high-strength, UV-resistant plastic. Ergonomic grip zones and durable construction ensure comfort and control, even during extended use. Designed by gold hunters – for gold hunters.
