I also use a turbopan and hex pan. I alternate between using turbo pan or a pyramid pro pan for production, and I have recently become a fan of the hex pan for finishing due to how easy it is to fully clear out the black sand. If you use the opposite corner from the big riffles, you can gently wash out the black sand until the only thing left is gold.
Ive been panning for over forty years and i do not see the benifit of this over a regular pan if you know what you're doing even with fine gold . everybody has a gimmick that works better than everything a panner has been using for the last five thousand years. Keep it simple has gotten me plenty of gold over the years .
The washing machine agitation before the counter-clockwise motion looks like it gives the smaller gold particles the extra time they need to sink below the wash-out point after starting the counterclockwise motion that keeps dropping the gold and clears the lighter material . If your gold is 1/4 or 1/8 minus... I'm wondering if pre-classifing will be faster and speed up the process or be slower.
I classify to 1/2 inch. I have tried pre-classifying with smaller mesh, but most of the time it is just extra work or time. There are some gravel/clay types that work better if you use fine classification first.
@@paranorml1 for me 1/4 worked better than 1/8 for slucing (because it was faster)... so now I will try my new 1/2" xp classifier next time out and try to best fit the classifier to the pan or boxes I'm using. I bought a hex pan after watching your video from "the prospect channel... haven't used it yet.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I never used that kind of pans. But it's good to think out of the box now and than. Hello from a Swiss gold prospector 🤠
I live in Maine I have a gold claw gold pan. It catches very fine gold below 200 mesh it holds onto the fines and it has an incredible amount of control over the dirt that is in the pan it has a three-step process that actually takes care of all the dirt and separates all your gold from the dirt faster than the turbo pan I also own a turbo pan the gold Clause the most effective plant pan I have ever used just saying prospecting for 15 years
Glad you like the Claw. My issue with it, is it seems to loose a lot of fine gold when used quickly (even though it does catch "some" fine gold). However it might come down to the individual user and how they use each of these products...... I have been prospecting Colorado gold for over 20 years. GET THAT GOLD!...... whichever way works best for you. :)
First you need to go counter-clockwise, so that when you stratify your material... it will be within the circle, then you can go counter-clockwise to spin off all the junk off the top,... then you repeat the whole process again until you're left with nothing but your concentrates, and no you don't need a second pan, if you do it right you can get it all done correctly the first time and you're done!.... by the way nice video thanks for cheering 😀👍
i have the smaller turbo pan .. the instructions say ' 4 table spoons' .. so it looks like yo uhave the bigger pan but i wouldnt think you'd be able to increase volume that much ?
It can process more than any of my other pans. I can process a 5 gallon bucket of 1/2 inch classified material with only around 4 turbo pans full. (1/4th bucket each time)
I'm very proficient with the gold claw and believe me. Nothing gets out of it and you can do Uber a quarter of a 5 gallon bucket with the gold claw. You're just not using it right. Just like most other people that I find that have problems with gold claw. They're not using it right? The gold cloth gold pen is faster and better than my sluice box. I have given up all other Pans even the Turbo Pan that I used to use for the gold claw gold Pan. As well as giving up all of my slow sluice boxs.
Cool, but I have observed people using the Gold Claw just like they show on the Gold Claw YT channel. If the people at gold claw are doing it wrong.... then what is the "right way"? Please link a video that shows the "right way" for my viewers to compare........ 😉
Ahhhhhh😱😱😱😱😱 Hi. I am from Austria and my English is Not the yellow of the Egg😅 sorry😅 I usw the Same Pan . Stop! Stop! At 2.30! Dont Shake so hard. You throw Out the fine,,!

This is the best video I have seen on the proper use of the TurboPan. Thank you.

Ive got one ordered, I do believe with a little practice this will be an awesome pan
Yes, with a little practice this pan can wash a lot of gravel, and capture the fine gold..... Hope you like it!
@@paranorml1 thank you....
@@garyanddoris6022 don’t bother, hone your skill with a normal pan as the turbo is just a gimmick. Clay wash will bog it

If are reading these,the hex pan is back in production and in the USA
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 🙏
I'm in Canon city. Colorado has alot of black sands
I am new at this but I found 1 yes just one small bit of gold
Keep practicing, and keep searching for better gold spots in your area, and you will find more!
In a tight sqweeze a Chinese dinner Togo black plastic food tray works good as it has a grove around all 4 corner's

Never sern them Great pans
Arnt you supposed to go clockwise first then counter?
No, counter clockwise acts like sluice riffles, and then clockwise swirls material out of the "Riffle Valleys" into the center.
@@paranorml1 ahhh. Now i know what i am doing wrong.
I also own a TurboPan.
It is very difficult to work with.
Interesting video. Greetings from Germany
counter clock vise must be wrong
Counter-clockwise first, then clockwise. Here is a video by the man who created the Turbo Pan.... .... th-cam.com/video/bRR_n_aYK5o/w-d-xo.html
You should look at your wrist while filming this so we could see the pan you talk of lol
И ничего там нет!

Шляпа полная этот ваш турбопан ! Обычный лоток с алика долавливал всё то, что так легко смывал турбопан.
