[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 665303, member: 4728"] Yes technique and skill is all important when panning. Also we pan for different reasons. One reason would be to recover gold from a sluicing run another would be prospecting or loaning. Maybe the Maverick pan might be ok for recovery but hard to see it being good at the latter. For the latter I would favour a standard round pan with retention riffles on one side and nothing on the other. When looking for that finest of first colour to indicate you are onto something you need absolute control of the water flow to spread the heavies out on the clean side of the pan. PS We can be very inventive with pans and remember once out in the bush with a workmate near a gold bearing creek. Keen to show off how gold panning was done but without a pan, the hubcap of the bosses car did a reasonable job. And yes we did get colour. [/QUOTE]
