I liked everything except - the pan was very oily. That won't matter if you use it for panning. I painted it and so I had to remove the oil first to get good adhesion. Mineral spirits. Detergent. Gasoline all helped. But I still did not feel it was good enough. I "baked it out" with a heat gun. That did the trick. Once again, the oil should not be a problem for panning.

Ist eine sehr gute waschpfanne bin sehr zufrieden mit der Pfanne aber für Anfänger würde ich sie eher nicht empfehlen, da Mann das gold in einer schwarzen Pfanne als Anfänger besser erkennt .Aber für die Profis unter uns ist diese Pfanne einfach ein muss .Und es hat für mich auch eine nastalgonischen Hintergrund , denn damals gab es keine Kunstkof Pfannen .

The rim is wider than my Garrett Super Sluice. I like the riffle design. Plastic pans snap. Estwing steel pans take a beating and don't break. Photo: Garrett Super Sluice at left, Estwing 16-16 at right.

This product arrive covered in oil and scratched with an odd brown substance on it. It had a price tag attached that looked like it had been there for many years. You can see it had already rusted in the pictures.Update: The pan was covered in mechanical oil to prevent rusting. A new pan should not have to be oiled for transit. These were old pans.I've haven't had time to prime the pan and in only two weeks, the pan was completely rusted from just sitting on my cabinet. I have never had one turn that quickly. I included a fourth picture to show the rust.Update: If you don't see my response to the comment that said I was 'clueless' because he thinks a gold pan must be rusty to be effective, read below: Google gold+pan+rust.The only time a rusty gold pan is effective is when you find one that someone has left behind in their tailings.The rust is porous and uneven. It will cling to and absorb gold flakes that you can't see.Also, when you use the pan, the rust bleeds off into the water. Public and private mines will sometimes ask you not to use rusty gold pans. The rust is extremely toxic to aquatic animals and plants.Not to mention your hands become a red rusty mess when you try to use one.This is why many gold pans are advertised as 'rust resistant'.My only cluelessness in this transaction was not verifying it said that in the description. Well, that and not initially realizing that's why the pans were oily......to resist the rust until I had time to treat the metal.

Great quality, great price. The new plastic pans are lighter and great to learn on, but nothing beats a traditional metal pan like this. I've read other reviews complaining that these rust, that's the best part. The rustier the better. The roughness of the rust is the original "riffle" system. Will probably order a few more in other sizes.

I have three grandchildren and ordered one for each. We go to the mountains every summer and they love to pan for gold. In the past they had to share a pan that my father had in the 50's. I measured his and this was the exact size. They love it. Can't wait to go,

I was talking to my uncle one day and he said that he panned for gold while he was in Alaska, and it was fun and he would like to pan for gold some more, but in New England where he lives. I ordered this for him, and the lack of news about it means he either found nothing, or has become incredibly wealthy because he struck gold in his yard over next to the shed.The pan gets five stars though because he never called me to yell about it being a piece of trash, and Estwing makes great hammers.
