[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 665352, member: 15464"] We do a lot of panning in dry areas and carry baby baths which we fill from jerry cans. We use Garret Gravity Trap pans but feed the discharge into Garret Super Sluice pans in the baby path. This slows the build-up of discharge directly into the bath so that the water stays clear longer. We also return the spoil to the Gravity Trap pans for a second treatment and, depending on how much clay is present, sometimes a third, fourth or more repeats. In rich areas we often keep recovering gold after 4 or 5 pannings. This would not be necessary in flowing water where we could use a sluice box, or in still water where we had room for more vigorous agitation of the paydirt but in the confined space of a baby bath it works well.
