How to Choose a Gold Panning Kit

New to gold panning?

Start with a beginner kit. Our 5pc, 7pc, and 10pc starter sets include a gold pan, snuffer bottle, glass vials, and magnifying tweezers, which covers the basics without overspending while you learn.

Want to recover more gold?

Step up to a gold panning kit with a sluice box. These setups pair a 12 inch mini or 50 inch aluminum folding sluice with classifier screens, so you can run more material in less time.

Heading into the backcountry?

A backpack kit keeps everything portable. The 14pc to 24pc packs add a 30L rucksack or drawstring bag and a collapsible bucket, so the whole setup goes in and out with you.

What comes in a kit?

Most kits combine gold pans, classifier screens, a snuffer bottle, vials, and tweezers. The larger complete and ultimate kits also add a rock pick hammer and a 5 gallon bucket for classifying.

What is the best gold panning kit for beginners?

A simple starter kit with a gold pan, classifier, snuffer bottle, and vials gives a first timer everything they need to get going. From there, a kit with a sluice box is a natural next step as your skills grow.
