I was wanting to know if anyone has used or own a hex pan and what the recovery is vs the round gold pan

Truckin_Riley, They are good pans, but have a learning curve... I personally still use my 14" Garrett Gravity Trap Pan... But that is just my opinion... I can recover -100 mesh using it!!!

I have a hex pan in purple and It works great. It does take a little getting used to, however.

Truckin_Riley, That depends on what color you have and your eyesite... I think the two best sellers are green, purple, with black coming in third... But again that it just one opnion... Different people like different colors!!! lol... So I don't think there is a best color...

The purple shows the gold and black sand even better than the green as far as I'm concerned

as far as im concern,all the pans work fine! its up to you to decide which pan fits your style of panning. i have most of them and when push comes to shove i like the no riffel side of my pan best!

The first gold I ever found was in a no riffle steel pan. I still use one now and then for sample panning out in the boonies.

The two fastest pans are the "Gold rush pro series" , and the "Purple Hex". Both have a "learning Curve !" I use them every day !
The gold rush pan is the fastest Ruff pan there is ! Just shovel bank run sand and gravel in to it and pan it out !!!! I test piles with it, Pan it down in about 40 to 60 seconds ! Watch me use one and you will buy it ! The pan speaks for its self. As for the Purple Hex, there is not a better or faster pan for concentrates. I use it 10 to 30 times a day. Just come to our common and watch me use it. you will see the different "Tricks" I use. I still teach beginners on the garrett pan, it is almost goof proof ! Look in my truck and you will see three pans, sp14, purple hex, gold rush pro. Every one has their favorite pan, But these three work for me every time ! Just come by and I will show you how each works. Thanks, Miner Mike
The "Gold Thing" There is no cure for it, Just ongoing treatment !!!!
