Falcon Clean Up Gold Pan
The Falcon Gold Pan is a finishing (dipping) pan used to perform the final cleanup of your gold concentrates. Use this pan last, after you have given up working the black sands with your other traditional riffle pans.
It is light blue in color and features a wide bottom with no lip so you can better control the water action in your pan – this is vital for very fine gold separation from heavy black sands.
11 inch total diameter with a 7 inch bottom giving you lots of room to work. Pan also has very fine micro grooves embedded in the side to aid in fine gold retention.
A better gold pan design: A lip or riffle in a pan can cause the water to wave up the side as you slide the edge of the pan into the water. This pan does not have any riffles or a lip, so as you pull the pan back out of the water the black sand just slips gently down the side of the pan, while the fine gold stays in place. The Falcon clean up pan offers a smooth transition between the bottom and the side, unlike other traditional pans with a steep step between the bottom and the side.
To further aid your panning try using a 30, 50, 70, and 100 mesh classifier / sieve and work your material in like sized batches. Material smaller than window screen size (20 mesh) tends to look the same to the naked eye, but it behaves quite differently in your pan. You don’t want to pan 20 mesh gold along with -100 mesh, unless you have time to burn and enjoy slow torture. Do yourself a favor and invest in some small mesh sieves.
