Minelab Pro-Gold Pans and Accessories Kit
At a glance: A complete gold panning kit built around Minelab's Pro-Gold system: a 15 in (38 cm) dual-riffle pan, a 10 in (25 cm) single-riffle pan, a hex-mesh classifier that sits on a 5 gal (20 L) bucket, plus a magnet, magnifier, suction bottle, pipette, two vials, a Getting Started guide, and a carry bag that converts to a backpack. Everything a first-time prospector needs to work a creek.
The gold is already in the gravel. What most first-time panners are missing is not luck, it is the small kit that turns a bucket of creek material into color in the bottom of the pan.
Why this kit
Gold panning is a sequence, not a single tool, and this is the one box that gives you the whole sequence. You classify oversize rock out with the hex-mesh classifier, run the coarse material through the 15 in (38 cm) dual-riffle pan to move bulk fast, then finish in the 10 in (25 cm) single-riffle pan where the flat sidewall and large riffles let you work light loads down to the fine stuff. The magnet lifts black-sand iron out of your concentrates, the loupe magnifier lets you see what you have, and the suction bottle and pipette pull tiny flakes off the water without losing them. Two vials keep your gold safe on the way home. It is the same Pro-Gold gear serious prospectors reach for, packaged so a beginner is not left guessing which piece does what.
This kit is at its best where color actually shows up: creeks, rivers, and known gold-bearing ground. The pans are molded from tough, lightweight plastic that will not rust or corrode, and the whole kit rides in a carry bag that pull-strings into a backpack, so it walks into the canyon on your shoulders instead of filling your hands.

Who it is for
The aspiring prospector who wants one honest starting point instead of a shelf of odd parts, the parent teaching a kid to pan, and the detectorist who wants to check a creek for placer gold without building a kit piece by piece. Every item here is also sold separately: the 15 in dual-riffle pan, the 10 in single-riffle pan, the hex-mesh classifier, and the specimen bottles, so you can replace a single piece or add a second later without rebuying the set.
We do not just sell this gear, we pan and detect with it. Call History Seekers at (256) 284-2247 and the person telling you where to start is someone who has swung a gold machine and worked a pan. We are a small American business, everyone here detects, and your order is packed and driven to the drop-off by people who hunt.
The story is more important than the artifact.
