XP Metal Detectors Gold Pan Premium Kit for Gold Prospecting

XP Metal Detectors Gold Pan Premium Kit for Gold ProspectingThe XP Gold Pan Premium Kit is a complete panning and classification system that pairs two pans (11 inch and 15 inch), two stackable classifiers (5mm and 10mm mesh), and a collection accessory set for prospectors working creek beds, dry washes, and riverbanks.

The XP Gold Pan Premium Kit is a complete panning and classification system that pairs two pans (11-inch and 15-inch), two stackable classifiers (5mm and 10mm mesh), and a collection accessory set for prospectors working creek beds, dry washes, and riverbanks. XP built the kit for detectorists who run the XP ORX or similar high-frequency machines and need a matched panning setup to process detector targets and concentrate samples. The snake-skin texture on both pans traps fine gold during finishing, the blue contrast makes flakes visible against black sand, and the stackable design fits in a backpack. We've used the 15-inch pan on Kern River trips where the wide flat base handles high-volume material, and the 11-inch finisher holds back flour gold the riffles miss.

• 2 mini specimen tubes
• Pipette
• 150ml suction bottle
• Vial for storing gold nuggets
• Loupe magnifier

Why Prospectors Reach for the XP Premium Kit

• Stackable classifiers sift two mesh sizes in one pass, cutting classification time when you're working bucket loads of paydirt from a detector signal or a known pay zone.
• Snake-skin texture on both pans holds fine gold that conventional smooth riffles let escape, a measurable advantage when you're finishing black sand concentrates.
• Blue pan contrast makes spotting sub-millimeter flakes easier against dark material, reducing eyestrain during long panning sessions.
• Compact nested storage fits the full kit in a daypack, useful for hike-in prospecting where you're carrying a detector, digging tools, and sample bags.
• Complete accessory set means you can collect, inspect, and store finds in the field without separate purchases. Compare the Premium Kit to the Starter Kit if you only need one pan and one classifier.

Dual-Classifier Workflow in Creek and Dry-Wash Prospecting

The two stackable classifiers handle a two-stage sift without swapping screens. We run the 10mm classifier on top to pull rocks and roots, then the 5mm underneath catches pebbles and coarse gravel, leaving fines in the pan. The working zone on each classifier is 30cm, wider than most prospecting sieves, so you're not shaking the same material for minutes. In desert washes where the soil is dry and clumpy, the double-sieve setup breaks down caliche and clay faster than a single screen.

Creek-Bed Classification After a Detector Signal

When the ORX hits a faint high-frequency signal in a gravel bar, we dig the target zone into a bucket and run it through both classifiers over the 15-inch pan. The 10mm mesh drops large cobbles, the 5mm catches the mid-range, and the pan holds the fines where the gold sits. The XP classifiers nest into the pan rim, so you're not juggling separate buckets. If you're new to prospecting workflows, our gold panning guide covers the full classification and finishing sequence.

Dry-Wash Sampling in Arid Terrain

In dry washes where moisture is absent, the classifiers break up hardpan and separate size fractions before you add water for panning. The stacked setup lets you process a five-gallon bucket in one sifting pass, useful when you're testing multiple spots along a wash. The 5mm classifier is the final stage before panning, it removes the last of the pebbles so the 15-inch pan only handles sand and potential gold.
