Nothing else to buy, nothing to figure out first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost cheap starter kits are a pan and a bag of trinkets. This one gives you the two pieces that actually decide whether you find gold: a \u003cstrong\u003eclassifier\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you are panning gold-bearing gravel instead of wrestling rocks, and a \u003cstrong\u003efull 37 cm (15 in) working pan\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a toy. XP's pans use a \u003cstrong\u003e\"snake skin\" texture\u003c\/strong\u003e in place of the smooth sandy zone found on conventional pans, which grips fine gold at the finishing stage where it is most often lost, and they are molded in \u003cstrong\u003eblue\u003c\/strong\u003e because blue sits opposite yellow on the color wheel and makes color easier to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat each piece does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:38%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXP Gold Pan 37 cm (15 in)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe all-rounder.
