And in Conclusion......Top 3 Gold Pans!

After many long hard test. I have come to some conclusions on what the best gold pan is. I evaluated each of the big production pans multiple time with multiple techniques and have come to the decision that three of them stand out above the rest. These gold pan reviews were in response to my fans asking me "What gold pan to buy" or "what is the best gold pan" this 8 part series should answer that question for you. One of the results is turning out to me shocking for many.
Pans in Series:
Pyramid Pro Pan
Gold Claw Production Pan
Gold Hog Flow Pan
Garrett Super Sluice
Superchamp flat pan
Batea "The Right Pan"

I have never done what you are doing. It is very attractive to me to be able to get something valuable out of the dirt. I have spent many hours watching you and others, wondering what works and what does not work. The flat pan I predicted would have poor results. Was I ever wrong! I was amazed. I am in my 70s and in poor health and live far away from the prime gold areas, so I will most likely never do this. I watch because I enjoy seeing others benefit, in the same way, I enjoy others winning big money on the game shows on TV. Thank you all for making me feel good. Paul L.

I agree about the gold hog totally gimmick

@akakscase 4 жыл бұрын

GoldHog pans and products seem to be more of a system than stand-alone products in their own right. Not so much a gimmick as not their ideal use. I have a few of their products (sluices and the HogPan) and honestly see pretty good returns on their use. The HogPan lets me really charge through a lot of the material I’m working, and with a little forethought I’m not losing much gold at all (like making sure I’m working the pan at the top of a sluice, and using it in the material it was made for). Last year I recovered almost 16 ounces of gold using a HogPan, GoldHog sluice and mats, and a Garrett Super Sluice for the cleanup. Just my take on their products.

@Nathan35077 4 жыл бұрын

Their products are fantastic. But their pan is not. I think it was just adding it to the checklist. I know so many people begged them to make a pan, because of how much they like their products. But it fell flat.

Looking at the gold hog it seems you may loose gold out the side of it, If it does not stratify fast enough to get past the side opening before material flow carries it along and out.

Good morning Dan. MANY THANKS for doing this series, it was very educational and definitely helps in selecting pans. I was happy to hear you were doing this, and am very pleased with your series and the results. I've see others review some of these devices but your an educator and it shows in how you do your reviews. I have NO issues with your evaluations, your doing what you know how to do and it's good to see someone using these for the 1st time cause I figure that's what would happen to me too. If I can see others using the device, I can judge how I'd likely use it too. That's helpful info. I'm curious on the Batea pan but it's pricing is higher than I'd be willing to go. I like the Flatpan, seems like a fun pan for sure. I think I'm going to try the Gold Claw for small size and portability but overall your choice of the Garrett is also my choice. Great work! Look forward to what's coming next.

I bought a Hog Pan before Doc made his Flow Pan. It was very expensive. He stopped making the Hog Pan in favor of the Flow Pan. I really like my Hog Pan. It can process A LOT of material and get it ready for sluicing. And the way I use it I have zero loss rate. I let my sluice do that. However, Keene has a new sluice we can shovel straight into. No classifying needed. If that thing really works, my Hog Pan just became obsolete! And yes I have Garrett Super Sluice pans because I’m constantly sampling. Never stop sampling. Never never never! Bye the way, nice series Dan. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the time & trouble that you've put into the "pan testing" videos. I really enjoyed them. Please disregard the negative comments, they are more a reflection of that person's personality & isn't really your problem, it's theirs. I really agree with your analysis of the "classification" of your samples - ie: I find that when I was using the Pyramid Pro Pan, that I received much better results if I didn't classify my samples at all. I obtained better results by having a bit of larger gravel in the pan. Please keep up the videos, some of us have reached the stage in our lives where your videos are more enjoyable than actually going out & doing our own panning - due to health reasons. Thanks again Dan.

I have done the pay dirt panning just for the experience and I absolutely loved it. If I could get that excited just panning paydirt through the mail, I could only guess how ecstatic I would be to have the opportunity to prospect or even own my own claim some day. For the time being, I will live vicariously through your experiences and learn from you and the other that I currently follow.

People can say what they want bout the flow pan. Gold hog makes good stuff I love the mats. People often forget that the doc said the flowpan isnt meant to be used a full time pan but it's a sampling tool. The problem with it is that one shovel of dirt at a time. I can classify out four or five shovels to half an inch in my super sluice before panning that out and that gives me a way better idea. But the results of yours is bout the same with mine. Sorry for long winded comment but the results are the results and the results point to truth. Great series dude! I've enjoyed watching them and will be rewatching them in the future

I think that if you were using the flow pan as a sampling pan, and knew it’s estimated losses, you could get a really good idea of what was in the area in a few minutes. As for the already classified and concentrated material, I could see the flow pan being used as more of a portable sluice than a pan.

Gold hog mats are awesome, however simple physics dictates that the flow pan will lose a lot of gold...

@@trans81am yeah it can. I've found some gold though in my neck of woods with it I would've probably lost but as mentioned its meant to be nothing more than a sample pan. Something to estimate what is around you before you go through the trouble of hiking all the gear in

You are a teacher Dan, not all will get it. You are on a hiding to nothing, people will have their favourite and therefore you will be wrong. As a fan then I’d say you did your best. You spoke truthfully and again people will argue with you. I didn’t know a thing about what you did but you are charismatic and always pleasant, and being a teacher on something you are passionate about. I enjoy yr videos and learning from you. Keep on going for us fans

Dan, it's a pleasure to watch your work, hear your thinking and follow your conclusions on various topics. I very much enjoy your quiet thoughtfulness. As to rude people, well keyboard warriors abound. As Chef Emril Lagassi said, with a smile, on his cooking program 'Get your own show!"

I like your testing protocol. Run dirt through the pan, catch the tailings, pan the tailings to see the loss. Excellent methodology!

I really enjoyed watching the tests and liked that you mentioned what your intuition was telling you, because anybody who pans (or prospects for that matter) needs to listen to their intuition. As you said, if anyone does well with any of the pans they may want to stay with them, but I think they will only do well if their intuition is telling them where the gold is at any given moment in the pan. That said, I think experience is the foundation of intuition, so it boils down to getting out and doing it - lots! Thanks for your videos, they get me out there when I'm not able.
