Description

The TerraX 14″ plastic gold pan combines traditional panning techniques with modern engineering. Its dual riffle system—featuring both shallow and deep grooves—traps fine gold that other pans miss, giving you the efficiency of a portable sluice box in your hands.

Key Features

• Dual riffle design catches both fine flakes and larger nuggets in one pass

• 14-inch diameter processes more material faster than smaller pans

• 2.6″ deep round base concentrates heavy materials in the center

• Lightweight design reduces fatigue during long prospecting sessions

• Rust and corrosion resistant for years of reliable field use

Why Choose Plastic Over Metal

This blue plastic construction offers several advantages over traditional metal gold pans. The consistent color provides better contrast for spotting fine gold flakes, while the lightweight design won’t wear you out during extended panning sessions. Unlike steel pans, it won’t rust or develop rough spots that can catch and hold your gold.

The specialized riffle pattern includes 3″ x 1/4″ grooves in two different depths. Shallow riffles catch larger pieces and break up clay, while deeper riffles hold onto fine gold that would wash away in a smooth pan. This dual-action system mimics what you’d get from professional gold prospecting equipment but in a portable format.

Perfect for All Skill Levels

Whether you’re just getting started with gold panning or you’re an experienced prospector, this pan delivers consistent results. The 14″ size strikes the right balance—large enough to process significant amounts of material, but not so big that it becomes unwieldy.
