Panning for gold is fun, but a little tricky. It's hard to pour out the water and the sand without losing some of the gold in the process. This pan makes it easier with the built-in ridges on the side of the pan. They are designed to hold the gold fragments in the pan, instead of letting them slip away.

* 10 inch opening at the widest point that graduates to a smaller bottom - perfect for mining

* Violet plastic design with ridged sides - violet color makes gold and valuables stand out

* Ridges on side, shallow length and decreasing sides all provide better gold trapping

* Easy to hold - can even be used with one hand to sift through sand and dirt easily and quickly

* Great for mining, panning, gold mining, beaches, sand sifting, learning and as a teaching aid
