Designed by an Australian geologist and prospector with over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and gold prospecting, the TurboPan has been a game-changer, introducing gold panning to a new generation.
Traditional steel Klondike gold pans can be slow, with varied results depending on the skill and enthusiasm of the panner. The innovative TurboPan design is easy for beginners to use, requiring less technique, with more consistent results.
All design parameters came about from rigorous testing in troughs and in the field. Importantly, the anti-clockwise swirling motion allows the full circumference of the pan to be used for waste ejection, which is a major advantage over the traditional "Klondike" pan, which tends to crowd the waste ejection over a small arc.
TurboPan remains proudly Australian-made and owned and continues to develop new prospecting accessories to complement and complete the panning experience.
