12.5-Inch Green Prospector’s Scoop with Built-In Riffles
Move material and perform a quick visual check for gold with this versatile green prospector’s scoop. Designed for gold panning, prospecting, treasure hunting, and metal detecting, it combines a durable digging scoop with built-in riffles that help trap heavier material during a quick wash.
The heavy-duty plastic construction will not rust or corrode, making the scoop well suited for use around streams, rivers, wet gravel, and gold-panning equipment. Its bright green color also provides good contrast against yellow gold and dark concentrates.
Built-In Gold-Checking Riffles
The molded riffles allow you to briefly wash a small scoop of material and check for visible gold before transferring it to a pan, sluice, or other processing equipment. The riffles help slow and capture heavier particles as lighter material washes away.
This feature is intended for quick field checks and sampling; it does not replace a full-size gold pan for final recovery.
