When it's comes to prospecting especially TH-cam prospectors id say your opinions is worth more than you think. I've learned a lot from your channel. Keep up the awesome work ✊🏻💪🏼
WHAT i LIKE MOST ABOUT YOU chris is that you present the realities of gold panning and prospecting. No Hype. I have sat beside the gold rivers and panned and maybe you can make a living out of it but not get rich like most people think you will
I checked out some Indonesian gold panning videos. Holy crap! The amount they scoop up seems unreal! It was all that tiny, light powder gold. One pan was the same as one day's worth in these videos!
It's frozen time here in MI. The kiddie pool I put in basement isn't big enough for my XP betea pan. The little I got to mess with it showed me I can get way more dirt worked than with my super sluice pan. I anticipate being able to recover more gold in 2025 panning with the betea pan. Looking forward for spring coming.
@Vo-Gus Prospecting Thank you for this video, I just got that pan for Christmas and was looking for ways to use it when the snow melts here in Montana.
Oh, Chris. You spell it out correctly for everyone, but spell it incorrectly for the title. Yet, InSearchOf didnt get a paid sponsorship in fear that he will screw up a review of YOUR pan... i love it! hahaha top vid dude! love when you use the wooden badboy. Cheers for the informative content!
Thanks for this Video Chris, I have been trying to master my "Batea" pan. 😂 it has been a struggle 😪 , but I shall try this new technique 👌. Happy Xmas and have a great New year, may gold hit that 5k mark! 😅😮😊
Thanks for sharing another great video Chris. Always learn something new watching your video. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year (2025) best wishes and keep up the great work. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
My son got me a beautiful XP Batea pan kit for Christmas. Chris, do you believe these need to be seasoned like A common plastic pan we used back here in the states?
Hi Chris. While I have never seen you use a Turbopan, I would be interested to learn whether you have ever used one and if so, your thoughts on them. Edit to add, it's my only pan and I suspect I may have chosen poorly.
OK, so I don't know anything about gold panning, so ignore me if I sound like an idiot. I've watched enough videos to see that the powder gold at the end can easily be swept away with water. That's how you put it into the bucket. So when you scoop a bunch of dirt and immediately start swirling it, it seems that any gold on top is going to float away with the rest. How can it not? Wouldn't you get more gold if you shook/jiggle/agitate the dry-ish dirt more before starting with the water? Presumably the heavier gold would migrate towards the bottom as the pan was vibrated. In fact, wouldn't a battery powered vibrating massager held against the pan for a minute or two help extract the gold? Again, I know nothing about how the gold moves in sand. It just surprises me when you immediately start swishing the dirt. Those light flakes haven't had a chance to get to the bottom yet!
It would be interesting to know how long it takes for the majority of the gold to reach the bottom during stratification. Might cut down on excess effort if a person knew precisely when and how much lighter material could be washed away.
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
I wonder if you could make them on a lathe? I wonder how important the angle would be on the inside....hmm..... Could you even make them from resin to get colours and since you'd be turning it on a lathe you could customise the areas of drag by how you smooth it down, during the polishing steps. You could have a really rough band around the edge with almost graduated roughness as you go further in....hmmm. Now I just need to get a lathe....
I thought I heard him talking shit about America for a second, but between his accent and the sound of me reloading my guns I couldn't really understand. Maybe I heard him wrong. 😅
Punch a 2 m.m.[ for flower and small bits ] hole on one side of the bottom of the cone and drop things that pass thru into a regular pan. Just use a finger over the hole to go back and forth between regular Batea and classifying batea. Should speed the gold seperation up greatly. As you not workin all the overburden off the gold, you giving the gold a trap door escape. Thank me later.
“In virgin ground that has been worked before”??? LOL. We must have very different definitions for the word “virgin”. By the way … the “potato pan” thing comes from the automated captions. Almost every single time you say “batea pan” the captions will read “potato pan”. PS. And the word is “batea”, and NOT “betea”. In Spanish “batea los huevos” is a baking term that means “beat the eggs”. “Batea” comes from the root word “batir” which means to mix or stir.
The big Walmart in our town is very near a dairy farm, so when the wind is blowing right it’s a rush to get inside so we don’t have to breathe that. 💩🤢
Awesome vid as always- BTW ! those Flies do not wish to Lick your outer Mucus Extremety's, they Vomit in them ! oh yes , to break down the goodies and then they suck it up again, have a great next Meal !!
Knowing the gold is at the bottom and a tiny amount at that. Why swirl it so much? Can’t you just pull all the light stuff off with your hand and done? All that work and whatever is left is always right at the bottom. I understand you need to stratify but, the gold looks to be only at the bottom point of the pan most of the time. Maybe make a pan with an opening at the bottom that you can open and close real quick. Then just finish off a tiny bit or 10 pans of the trap door stuff at a time.
seasons greetings mate hope you have a awesome 2025. also batea literally means "pan", so a "batea pan" is a "pan pan". so its just a "batea" haha catch ya
Looks interesting but I think you were still saying “POTATO PAN”… I’m blind in one eye so I can hear you clearly but just remember when the flies hit your head the frogs are laughing at you!!
Awe now why are people mispronouncing batea pan ....the only reason I ever called it a potato pan was because of youtubes automated subtitles 🥚 eggs aside do you know you can't correct the subtitles , the amount of times they come up swearing when you say something somewhat innocently is crazy so potato pans are awesome....but not as good as batea pans...one of them you could gold pan and make dinner in..teh other not so much but it would do the better job of collecting gold....I wonder how stratifying paydirt in an actual potato pan would go? vertical sides and one riffle
Europeans have been extracting gold from rivers and mines for 5,000 years. The Celts, Teutons and Gauls were attacked by the Roman barbarians only because they had immense amounts of gold. Might be interesting to research about ancient European methods of gold extraction.
Way... Way far away across many ponds. Landlocked and gold poor West Virginia. Lots of coal and sadness. Love the channel. And the shallow cone pan seems like a no brainer. It's pretty basic physics.
I'll give it 3 weeks until this is a video for Vevor advertising the MEGATAIA PAN. 😂😂
With a Chris Vogusis AI introducing with no permissions attributed😢
Chris, only 3 week$ for Chinese communists 😅! They're working for the USA dumasses! maybe a couple years to figure anything out
When it's comes to prospecting especially TH-cam prospectors id say your opinions is worth more than you think. I've learned a lot from your channel. Keep up the awesome work ✊🏻💪🏼
I was going to say the same
This video should be titled Alpha gold panning With a Beta Pan
WHAT i LIKE MOST ABOUT YOU chris is that you present the realities of gold panning and prospecting. No Hype. I have sat beside the gold rivers and panned and maybe you can make a living out of it but not get rich like most people think you will
It’s much clearer now I need a potato pan
I like potato scallops. Does that count?
Impeccable timing on this video Chris. Got the same pan off Santa. Now that you have showed me how to use it. Time to hit the creek.
👍👍‼️ I like that you are not stuck on any one tool or technique. You experiment, evaluate and adopt what works better.
Hypnotic swirling motions. Love your attitude and style. I can hear the smile.
This is very cool! I'm just starting to learn about prospecting. It's fascinating. This was a great video to watch!
I checked out some Indonesian gold panning videos. Holy crap! The amount they scoop up seems unreal! It was all that tiny, light powder gold. One pan was the same as one day's worth in these videos!
Keen,detailed observation before implementation,offers the best results.
Very well done Chris, thank you.

@Vo-Gus Prospecting Thank you for this video, I just got that pan for Christmas and was looking for ways to use it when the snow melts here in Montana.
Thanks Chris... Awesome Demonstration Video!
Great technique description.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh, Chris.
You spell it out correctly for everyone, but spell it incorrectly for the title. Yet, InSearchOf didnt get a paid sponsorship in fear that he will screw up a review of YOUR pan...
i love it!
hahaha top vid dude! love when you use the wooden badboy. Cheers for the informative content!
Sonicscrewer, or is that Sonic screwdriver, a Dr Who fan
Thanks for showing me, I'm not sure I get it, but I'll give it a go next time I'm out.
You took me over im going buy one .!!
You spelled it wrong in the title of the video M8 how can we be arsed to say it right lol
That’s very interesting. I’m also interested in that other little pan you had with concentric rings. Can you show more about that?
Sweet PO Tat O pan Chris! ❤
I got one for Christmas and I can't wait to use it this spring
Cheers for the vid Chris :)
Great video Chris!
💛...your opinion matters...btw, love the batty-cam...
I loves my xp batea pan.. 🎉 will try this method next time I'm out!!!
Thanks for this Video Chris, I have been trying to master my "Batea" pan. 😂 it has been a struggle 😪 , but I shall try this new technique 👌.
Happy Xmas and have a great New year, may gold hit that 5k mark! 😅😮😊
Happy holidays my friend. My next pan is a Betea for sure, just not sure I like the xp with the nipple
Bloody awesome vid. I'm sure by now these pans are out of stock
Merry Christmas dude
Thanks for sharing another great video Chris. Always learn something new watching your video. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year (2025) best wishes and keep up the great work. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
Cool👍❤️✌️
still think you should make a version of this pan (from wood) with a couple rings in it like a modern pan. Would be super easy with a wood lathe.
I love watching that type of pan. The wood one is cooler
Would it be beneficial to classify and maybe start you panning in the moving water? The silt and lighter particles could clear out faster.
Liked, shared and commented 🍻🤴🏻🗽 9:24
You gonna ever try and sell a few of these on The Old Mouldy???
My son got me a beautiful XP Batea pan kit for Christmas. Chris, do you believe these need to be seasoned like A common plastic pan we used back here in the states?

Potato partarta. Beday potato. Ouch! No pan no problems 😁👍

Whoohoo
Boom baby
I used my mini one today. Man I felt unco
I'm actually glad your not panning with a bidet pan !!!!
I wonder if you could make them on a lathe? I wonder how important the angle would be on the inside....hmm.....
Could you even make them from resin to get colours and since you'd be turning it on a lathe you could customise the areas of drag by how you smooth it down, during the polishing steps. You could have a really rough band around the edge with almost graduated roughness as you go further in....hmmm.
Now I just need to get a lathe....
Gimme a link to order it
I thought I heard him talking shit about America for a second, but between his accent and the sound of me reloading my guns I couldn't really understand. Maybe I heard him wrong. 😅
Just kidding, on another note do you think a hybrid between that kind of a pan, and the ones with ridges would work well??
I heard Americans think we've got no guns .....😁.....Just kidding too.....or am I .....😎🔫
Potato pan!!
I'm still calling it a potato pan. You need a potato pan to find banana city. I don't know why but Chris only finds it when using one,
Hahahahaha

You spell it differently in the title of this video than you do in the video
I'm an idiot
First!!
^5!
I'm gonna import petea pans to canada where they will now be called potato pans!!!!😆
🤔😂 potto 😜👍
Awesome vid as always- BTW ! those Flies do not wish to Lick your outer Mucus Extremety's, they Vomit in them ! oh yes , to break down the goodies and then they suck it up again, have a great next Meal !!
*Vo-Gus* -------- I need my hearing checked - you said it was a ------- *BIDET pan* ----- ☺
You spelt potato pan wrong in the video title 😝
Tall carved riffles in your batea pan
Tater pan? Happy new year
Dan Hurd thinks he knows everything!

Hey there. Why don't you save the 9 minute videos and make a 90-minute video every next video because that is how it keeps me entertaining
yes a potato pan
seasons greetings mate hope you have a awesome 2025. also batea literally means "pan", so a "batea pan" is a "pan pan". so its just a "batea" haha catch ya
Eat z bugs😂

Don’t get too distracted with the pretty rocks in your classifier or you might not notice your $70 plastic pan float away under the water.😡 don’t ask.
Too long got distracted.
Beta pan 😂
BATEA! BATEA! BATEA! Not beta.
When you go in to the bathroom you are Aussie. when you come out of the bathroom you are Aussie but then you are in the bathroom your a peein.
As a citizen of the free state of commiefornia, I approve of your slander towards the freedom states...
A potato pan..
Sounds like a disgusting personal problem
