Pan American: 40 cm metal pan by Estwing for gold digger.
 For panning for gold, the pan is the most important tool.
 The Pan Américain is a Chinese hat with a flat bottom. This pan is recommended for adults as it starts to be really heavy in load.
 The metal panning for gold is made of good quality steel. But steel rusts we recommend that you always dry, oil and wipe your pan before putting it away.
 The metal pan is much more resistant but also heavier than the plastic pan.

 Method for gold washing : Principle gold is heavier than sand and pebbles.
 First fill the pan with gravel, earth and water. Shake by hand these gravel to loosen the mud and the gold which would be against the gravel, to remove the largest stones.
 Then dislodge which is used to reduce the earth into fine particles. Shake the pan back and forth then from right to left. The light particles remain in suspension in the water, and the heavy parts sink to the bottom.
 Then wash (depending on the type of pan the movement will not be the same). For a conical pan we will use a rotational movement and for a pan with a flat bottom (American pan) a back and forth movement. Riffles make it easier to separate gold from heavy gravels and minerals.
 The riffles are according to the pan models either bumps or stairs (Estwing panes).
 Once the larger light sands are removed, we can reload the pan and start the operations again ... several times. When the concentrate becomes dense in heavy materials, we can either start collecting the gold, or pour this concentrate into a " smaller pan " ... and repeat this until nightfall ... (° _ °)
 Bring back all the harvest of the "little pan" and continue to mine at home ... The gold will be bottled with water ... The heavy minerals can be dried and classified.
 Below is a list of minerals from the lightest to the heaviest.
 (Garnet - Olivine), (Corundum), (Zircon), (Magnetite), (Cassiterite), (Galena, Lead).
