[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 671625, member: 4728"] Panning has an element of skill in shaking and sloshing the material around and not quite as simple as it looks. Sounds like both you and your kids will be rank amateurs so a word of advice is don’t practice on the kids, it could be embarrassing for a dad. Look up some you tube videos on panning and go and practice on your own to raise up your skill level before “teaching” the kids. Lead shot or small split sinkers would be ideal test objects. Count them before you put them in you pan and make sure you reach a level of expertise that you can recover all of them every time. [/QUOTE]
