Pioneer 16″ Blue Gold Pan – Dual Riffle Pan for Gold Prospecting & Fine Gold Cleanup
Work Your Material. Refine Your Technique. Discover the Gold!
Whether you’re learning to pan or checking concentrates after a day of prospecting, the Pioneer 16″ Blue Gold Pan provides a large working area with two riffle styles.
Use the deep riffles for initial panning, then switch to the smaller riffles for finer cleanup as you reduce your material.
Designed for beginners and experienced prospectors alike, it’s a practical addition to your creekside gear or home cleanup station.

Why Choose the Pioneer 16″ Gold Pan?
Move Through the Panning Stages
Start by thoroughly wetting and stratifying your material. Work away lighter material gradually, then slow down as the remaining concentrates become more concentrated.
The two riffle styles let you change your approach as the batch gets smaller.
Build Your Panning Skills
Good recovery depends on technique. Practice with manageable batches, keep your movements controlled, and check your tailings while learning.
Add a Pan to Your Cleanup Setup
Use a pan to inspect samples, review sluice concentrates, or practice at home with paydirt. A catch tub lets you recheck material and refine your technique.
Ideal Uses
-
Recreational gold panning
-
Creek and stream sampling where permitted
-
Checking sluice concentrates
-
Practicing with paydirt
-
Home cleanup sessions
Size & Selection
The 16″ size suits prospectors who prefer a larger pan.
