[QUOTE="blisters, post: 265207, member: 4992"] Sounds like you don't need help with your panning. One suggestion, if you look at the picture of the full super sluice pan in the walnliz clip posted above is that you want to work a light pan. What I mean by this is the pan should be fluidised by your panning method with the contents suspended in the water. The full pan will be hard to move the material but if it is fluidised the panning motion you have adopted will remove the friction the weight of the solid material has on the pan as it is floating in the water so to speak. This will result in the heavier material like gold sinking in the fluid to the bottom of the pan. Starting this off with the full pan as above takes a bit of effort but as the material is reduced becomes easier and you can be gentler with the pan. The tilt of the pan will direct the heavies to where you want it. I generally like to get them in the crease of the pan then into the riffles as the pan empties. I then will backwash the remnants left in the riffles once the material reduces to as far as I can get them or black sand starts to appear. Jon [/QUOTE]
