Garrett Metal Detectors Gold Pan Kit — Complete 14″ Trap & 10″ Backpacker Pans, Green, 90° Riffles

The Garrett Complete Gold Pan Kit is a ready-to-use four-piece panning set built to help hobbyists and seasoned prospectors recover fine gold reliably from streams, crevices, and sluice concentrates.

This kit bundles proven Garrett pan designs with practical accessories so you can begin sampling and recovering gold without buying individual items. The set includes a 14" Trap pan, a matching 14" sifter, a 10" backpacker pan for compact outings, a Gold Guzzler bottle for suctioning flakes, and two clear vials for storing specimens. The pans are molded in a bright green to increase contrast with gold, while 90° riffles assist trapping material in wet or dry conditions.

How does this kit improve my chances of finding fine gold?

The combination of pan sizes and riffle patterns helps isolate fine flakes and tiny nuggets that often escape flatter pans. The 90° riffles create pockets where heavier gold settles while lighter materials wash away, and the bright green color enhances visual detection under water and sunlight.

• 14" Trap pan concentrates material quickly for faster sampling
• 90° riffles create effective settling pockets for fine gold
• Green pans provide high contrast to spot small flakes easily
• Gold Guzzler rescues flakes from crevices and riffle pockets

What comes in the box and how do I use each piece?

The kit is organized for step-by-step prospecting: collect, classify, pan, and recover. Use the 14" sifter to remove large rocks and coarse gravels, then pan the remaining material in the Trap or Backpacker pan; finish by using the Gold Guzzler and vials to secure finds.

• 14" Sifter — separate oversized debris before panning
• 14" Trap pan — bulk sampling and concentrating heavy material
• 10" Backpacker pan — lightweight option for quick checks
• Gold Guzzler bottle — vacuum small flakes from tight spots
• Two gold vials — protect and label recovered specimens

Is the kit suitable for all water and soil conditions?

Yes — the rugged plastic construction and riffled design perform well in both wet stream beds and dry sediment. The 90° riffles are effective at holding heavy particles during repeated agitation, and the bright color helps you spot gold in murky or mineral-rich environments.

• Durable molded plastic withstands frequent use and abrasion
• Works in shallow streams, riverbanks, and dry creek beds
• Riffles maintain performance whether material is wet or dry
• Portable size adapts to backcountry and roadside sampling

How portable is the set for day trips or backpacking?

The kit balances coverage with compactness: the 10" Backpacker pan reduces bulk while the 14" pieces provide full-size sampling when you need higher throughput. Each component nests easily, and the lightweight construction keeps carry weight low for hiking to remote claims.

• 10" pan designed for low-weight, fast checks on the trail
• Stackable pieces save space in a pack or vehicle
• Lightweight plastics cut fatigue on long outings
• Essential accessories eliminate the need to bring extras
