[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 556092, member: 4012"] I reckon the pan weight would be negligible compared to the weight of the gravel/sand/gold loaded into it. As well as being bigger, a larger pan will likely have a thicker profile to cope with the greater weight of material it can carry, so a larger one would always weigh more than a smaller one. The best way to reduce the load on the arms is to keep the pan submerged as much as possible - everything weighs less below the water - so changing the panning technique might prove the most effective way to reduce arm strain.
