My Journey To Make a Gold Pan | Selling Out to Myself
I'm incredibly excited to share something special with you all - my very own custom-designed gold pan! In this video, I'll show you how it works and why I'm so passionate about this project. Designing this gold pan has been a labor of love, combining my experience and enthusiasm for gold prospecting.
However, I must admit, there's a part of me that feels like a bit of a sell-out for showcasing my creation. Despite these mixed feelings, I'm proud of what I've accomplished and eager to share it with the community. Join me as I demonstrate the pan's features, discuss the design process, and reflect on my journey.

I was not sure about releasing this video, simply because I filmed it before releasing the pancake gold pan and I was really excited to share it. Its been a long term goal to get this out and I wanted to share that with you. But it comes off as sounding like an ad. It wasn't my intention, its simply meant to be a look at what I was working on. So dont take this as a "buy my pan" ad. Its nothing more than sharing a moment of excitement that I had.

@danacarter60 2 дня назад

You should go further with that gold pan. You should make it to where it can be flat and where it can pop out to be a normal pan. 2 in 1!!!

@wp.sworld.s 2 дня назад

I never thought of your video being an ad I don't pay attention to that that's not why I watch your videos I watch your videos cuz you're freaking awesome you're a good hearted person you're a good man you're funny you teach people there is nobody like you at all on RU-vid you're one of a kind and that's awesome just keep doing what you're doing and I'll always watch your videos thank you Chris

@frank705771 День назад

This pan reminds me of a smaller version of the Superchamp flat gold pan.The previous pan you created to dry pan I thought was really great. Don't give up on making improvements to that one. It's a winner as both a wet and dry pan.

@seantiz День назад

The Blue Plate Special. Guaranteed to not change your life. But it will change your outlook. 😊 Best of luck with your new venture.

@susanturcotte3176 День назад

I love that little pancake pan you created! For a disabled person, it would be extremely small, light weight, easy to pan, and separate the gold for your snuffer bottle. It kind of eliminates a lot of 'finishing' processes on a miller table. You have successfully married several steps into one! 🧐🤔🥰 Thanks for sharing, Chris! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

@VoGusProspecting День назад

It's actually a real good finishing pan once you get the knack for it so I discovered

Well a commercial for sure…but it wasn’t boring at all and there was no stupid jingle so well done lol.

Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

@williamhoover1515 2 дня назад

Call it the "LENS", from the Fresnel Lens for light houses. It Collected the light from a source and concentrated the light into a tight small beam. It was very efficient. It was a flat lens like your great pan. Concentrates the gold.

@AnnaWooH День назад

I'm excited for you, and for your excitement. It would be redonculously hard to keep the videos coming, the "excitement" up for content, and actual legit excitement, over such a long period of time, finding something that fires you up is amazing. The pan will also be very accessible for heaps of people, much easier to do/explain "round and round, keep it flat..." than the more nuanced ”tilt forwards, wave wave, shuffle, tilt back, look, tappa tappa..." etc

@steelphoenix1412 2 дня назад

The biggest selling point to me here is the extreme portability. If I can go exploring with nothing but that and a snuffer bottle, maybe a scraper, then it's really tempting me. What do you think about making some kind of holster that could hold that and a snuffer where they'd be easy to grab or stow at points of interest?

@VoGusProspecting 2 дня назад

It's great for doing that when you are crevicing.

Stick it on top of a speaker driver and play a solid tone through it to see if you can make a sluice but with sound. Different frequencies could change where the heavies land.

@gregboundy3510 День назад

I have watched you online from seeing your snuffer bottle float away to today and have loved the journey and your excitement, the quality of your clips has improved out of this world. For me I just love getting out and looking for gold and if I find any that is the bonus. I am looking forward to getting one of your pans to try out next.

These flat ones look like they could be handy. If you ever hop across the ditch, look me up. Plenty of room here for you. I'm on the Coromandel Peninsula - plenty of good places for fossicking close by, and the fishing is always good too.

@quintonkoepnick 2 дня назад

I would cross a batea pan with the pan you made, but just a 1" dimple with a small rib at the top? Maybe something worth trying. I need to buy a 3D printer lol! Love the pan man!

@MickTee2k 2 дня назад

Nice advert! :) A couple of suggestions though... 1 - The underside could probably do with something to make it look more useful - maybe one side for unclassified material, and the other for classified? (Although I suspect your manufacturing method may preclude this option)) 2 - the simple means of operation looks like it could be easily mechanised. Say, a mechanism that clips onto the top of a 20L no-name bucket filled with water and moves it around just under the surface. This allows you to do your crevassing by dropping small handfuls onto the pan as you go without having to get up and walk down to the water. And for those areas you would dry wash, you could literally process a bucketful of dirt at the cost of a bucketful of water.

@krisgalusha9820 2 дня назад

There are small vacuums that run off 20V batteries. If one already has 20V batteries they can buy one petty cheap. The smaller the better. Once the crevice has been cleared, run the vacuum through the crevice, empty into your pan and start panning. I know you’re going to say I don’t want to carry the extra weight. If you are working dry it replaces the weight of the yabbie pump. I would think it would increase your end of the day take. Carry on.
