If you really want a custom pan you can get one 3D printed. A sintered print would be the best option but it’s not going to be a cheap print. You will get your own custom pan if you take the time to design one in something like Fusion360. The most printed thing I’ve found tends to be sluice designs. I'd be particularly interested in seeing a video about some of the old drywashers people built.

@@ChrisRalph What you're thinking of is FDM type printers that use reels of plastic. A sintering printer uses a laser to fuse powder and can be very smooth. The last type is a resin that's hardened by a laser in layers. It's very precise but resin tends to be toxic and far more expensive for large prints. Sintering printers are expensive but there are places online where you can upload a design and get it printed by a sintering type printer. It's not cheap but there's a wide choice of materials from plastic to metals.

If I may: the round metal pans are usually spun, not pressed. The very subtle concentric pattern on the surface and the rolled bead are telltales of this very "simple" and common process (working with a lathe, wood forms and a skilled worker is quicker and cheaper than enormous hydraulic presses and hardened steel molds).

Thanks for your kind words. On the dowsing thing, watch my video on the topic and listen to what I say about dowsing for gold. See: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Ymh_xdl8idKdn6w.html On that video, I describe a scenario a friend did a test that is very similar to what you suggest and the dowser lost. People believe all sorts of things. There is a sizable group on KZread that believes the world is flat like a pancake, not spherical. I get folks commenting on that video all the time who insist that dowsing for gold works. I only ask that they provide some evidence to convince me - and so far no one has. There is tons of gold out there to be found - that is without question. Post a video on your KZread channel of you with all the gold you have found dowsing. If you can show that you have found at least 10 pounds of gold with your dowsing skills, I will move forward with a bet as you suggest. However you will need to bring cash with you to the bet as I will not take an IOU or a check. I can bring cash and we will have a third party hold both of our cash piles. You know there has been a standing offer (not by me) of one million dollars to anyone who can prove dowsing works and no one has claimed that prize, right? Why have you not claimed that cash? Anyway, I look forward to seeing the many pounds of gold you have found dowsing.

25 yards away ?? In the sand ? So you need to know where they are first ? Gold197 is nature's Gold Element, it's stable and non radioactive. It's as far away from being an Actinide as you can get, 100%stable. It's cousins 196 and 198 are radioactive (2 and 6 days...1/2) but also man made. (medicinal) There is nothing to detect. Metal detectors use bounce back frequency after projecting wave lengths. You project nothing with dowsing rods. At best, the ground you stand on is not level and your balance allows the rods to seek the low spot by way of gravity, the long end going first, which is where the heavy will be too. Might as well wait for rain and find the puddles. Same results. Slim ?? ! .....He don't need no dowsing rod, those rods ask him where to go. That's why it works for him. (saw the vid.)

I appreciate your request, but I get many, many requests from all over the world for personal help and assistance every day. I have my own mining projects that I need to focus on and simply cannot help beyond my book or what videos you see me post on KZread. I wish you the best of luck to you in your efforts.

Yes but finding both if one day with the same pan could be interesting would love to see the guys get creative though I've designed a rubber mat that can go both ways on the field couse usually if your ming gold your losing other invaluable items that have a completely different molacular structure aswel as a different hydraulic equivalent to gold although some have simular carracteristics I have a saying with gemstones stars shine best at night (meaning il have a better chance at spotting them with a flashlight in my pan then in braod daylight uv lights can give them away nicely 🤔😊aspetialy Cristals that are most valuable) for example ruby's topaz diamonds exetra🤔i think some types of quartz aswel but even if thay don't thay are shiny enough to sparkle with torch light ✨😊 at one point I found fists full of smoky quartz at night using a flashlight and in the daytime only one or two a cool hack I think mining at night

I think I might be able to help you with this "pan-Pam" dilemma.....

I would imagine that you would wait to keep it light. What you pack in your going to need to pack out. Exspeacly if you find a LOT of heavy gold to pack out also. WE CAN DREAM NOW, CAN'T WE. THE LITTLE EAGER BEAVER I AM. LOL 😛😸😸👍
