Metal vs Plastic Gold Pan
Most gold prospectors that have used both a metal and a plastic gold pan will always say that there is no comparison between the two. The will always grab a plastic pan. The plastic gold pan has many advantages over the metal pans of old.
Weight: They are made from a very strong and light plastic. The weigh almost nothing and can be carried easily into remote areas. Metal pans can weigh close to 10lbs before any material is added to them. You will grow tired faster with a metal pan. This will shorten how long you pan and decrease the amount of gold you recover.
Design: A plastic pan has riffles built in. This helps keep the gold in the pan as you go through the panning process. The metal pan is smooth and unless you are extremely skilled at panning you will have gold fall from the pan.
Price: A plastic gold pan can be purchased for under $20 including shipping. A metal gold pan will cost $50 or more.
Multiple Gold Pans: Because plastic gold pans are inexpensive and light you can have many different shaped and sized pans to help accomplish different gold panning objectives. Coarse panning down to fine recovery panning.
So buy a plastic gold pan and go find some gold.
