[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 14954, member: 378"] G'day Pete, I think it just comes down to personal preference. I hear the Garrett Super Sluice is a very popular and great plastic pan to use (yet to try one of those myself). We've personally used the large steel pans since the 80's and I really love those. They require a good touch and a perfect technique as there's no safety riffles on the edges to stop the flakes from disappearing back into the creek ;) I have two plastic Trinity Pans here but I couldn't really get used them. They had a nasty habit of getting clogged up with clay. Very difficult to clean out the fine gold dust. I should post a pic of those as I haven't seen them on here as yet. Give everything a try and see what you feel most comfortable with. All the best with your choice! Shauno. [/QUOTE]
