ASR Outdoor Gold Panning Kit Lightweight Backpack, 14-Piece with 12" Mini Aluminum Sluice & Dual-Riffle Pans

The ASR Outdoor Lightweight Backpack Gold Panning Kit is a complete, portable 14-piece prospecting set built around a 12" aluminum mini sluice box and dual-riffle pans for efficient field recovery of fine material.

This compact kit brings together the essential tools for recreational prospectors and hobbyists who want a ready-to-use setup without bulky gear. Packaged in a drawstring backpack, the set balances lightweight portability with practical recovery and cleanup items so you can move quickly between creeks and claim sites. The included mini sluice is preassembled and designed for straightforward operation, while the assortment of scoops, classifiers and cleaning tools helps you process material and secure finds on the spot.

How does the mini aluminum sluice box improve fine material recovery?

The 12-inch aluminum sluice box included in this kit is made from weather-resistant material and arrives ready to run—no assembly required—so you can set it in a stream fast. Its V-shaped rubber riffles are optimized to trap smaller particles and concentrate heavy material while allowing lighter sand and silt to wash through. For short prospecting sessions or test-panning a new run, this mini sluice offers a reliable way to process higher volumes than panning alone.

• 12-inch weatherproof aluminum body for durability and low weight
• V-shaped ribbed rubber matting to catch fine heavy particles
• Preassembled—ready to use out of the box, no tools required
• Compact footprint for use in shallow runs or narrow channels

What pans and tools are included for on-site sorting and cleanup?

Two dual-riffle pans (10" and 12") provide quick surface concentration, while the prospector scoop and coarse classifier let you move material efficiently into the sluice or pan. A black sand separator magnet and magnifying tweezers help with final sorting and identification of heavier particles. The kit’s fine recovery implements focus on preserving small finds and reducing time spent processing each sample.

• 10" and 12" dual-riffle gold pans for fast concentration
• Prospector scoop and coarse mesh classifier for quick material handling
• Black sand magnet and magnifying tweezers for separation and inspection
• Fine recovery tools to collect and store small flakes or nuggets

How portable and organized is the kit for field use?

The entire 14-piece set stores in a lightweight drawstring backpack that keeps parts organized and easy to carry between sites. Because the sluice and pans are compact, the pack fits into a car trunk or on a daypack without adding significant bulk. The arrangement of tools in the bag helps you deploy quickly and keep small items secured in rough terrain.

• Multipurpose drawstring backpack for compact storage and carry
• Lightweight components designed for day trips and easy transport
• Organized tool selection reduces setup and pack-up time
• Durable materials suited to wet, sandy outdoor conditions

What steps are involved in processing a sample with this kit?

Start by classifying your material through the coarse mesh screen, then use the prospector scoop to feed the sluice or pan. Run the sluice in a slow uniform flow to let riffles capture heavy grains, then finish concentrates in the dual-riffle pan. Use the magnet to remove black sand and the tweezers for final extraction into storage containers.

• Classify material to remove oversized gravel
• Feed the sluice or pan evenly for best recovery
• Finish concentrates in the riffle pan and remove magnetic sands
• Use tweezers and storage tools to secure finds on site
