[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 556811, member: 5729"] Tie helium balloons to it :playful: , but the key is a comfortable low seat ,gumboots so your legs are in the water so you have a more natural sitting position, elbows supported by knees or legs and the pan basically under water apart from 80% of the rim once the silt is washed out and you've spilt the larger stones you can raise your pan as the weight reduces. Classifying down to 1/2 inch before panning usually reduces the material to be panned by 1/3 also. A pan 25% up to 50% full is more than twice as quick to do as a chock a block full pan. If that doesn't help go and find her hand bag if it doesn't weigh 10kg like most do hide a brick in the bottom to toughen her up. [/QUOTE]
