Search for gold in rivers and streams yourself. With a gold pan, Batea or sluice box from XP you wash gold flakes and small nuggets out of sand and gravel. Complete kits for beginners and experienced prospectors.
For many detectorists, gold panning is the perfect second hobby. With a gold pan you wash sand and gravel from rivers and streams until only the heavy gold remains. Easy to learn, exciting to do, and you need very little to get started.
Want to find gold nuggets with a detector too? Take a look at our gold metal detectors.
Which gold pan is best for beginners?
A complete kit such as the XP Gold Pan Starter contains everything you need to start right away.
What’s the difference between a gold pan and a sluice box?
A gold pan lets you work small amounts precisely. A sluice box sits in the current and processes far more material in the same time. You then pan out the concentrate.
Where am I allowed to pan for gold?
That varies by country and area. Always ask the landowner or manager for permission and check local rules.
