At 60 cm x 20 cm, the Model 2 is compact, but has an impressive 900 cm² of gold collecting mats. This area determines how much material can be placed in the channel and therefore also which equipment is appropriate and how much gold you will find. If the catching area is small, you can only put a small amount of material into the channel at a time, otherwise it would be overfed and gold would be lost. A large catching area in turn requires a larger and heavier channel, which makes transportation more difficult.
With the Model 2, we offer the "golden" middle ground: it is small enough to fit in a man's backpack and has enough catching surface for you to fill it with a standard shovel. You should buy this gold panning trough if you already know where to look and want to find more gold!
Please protect your gold panning trough from temperatures above 60 °C, otherwise the gold catching mats could warp!
