Heavier gold particles settle into the grooves while lighter sand and gravel wash away, dramatically improving your gold recovery rate compared to a simple flat-bottomed pan — especially in turbulent water conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What material is this gold pan made from, and is it durable outdoors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This gold pan is made from high-quality polypropylene (PP), a tough, lightweight plastic that resists rust, corrosion, and impact. It is built to perform reliably in a wide range of outdoor environments including mountain rivers, creek beds, and riverbeds in challenging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What size is the gold pan and is it easy to carry in the field?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The pan measures approximately 35 cm (13.78 inches) in diameter.
