The Garrett 10-inch Backpacker Gold Pan is a compact option for carrying into the field, checking small samples and finishing concentrates. It also makes a useful second pan alongside a larger general-purpose pan.

Compact and easy to carry

The smaller size takes up less room in your kit, while four quarter-inch riffles help retain heavier material during panning. Its green surface provides contrast when looking for gold in the final concentrate.

Choosing your pan

Choose the Backpacker when portability and small sample sizes matter most. For more working room, consider the 14-inch Gold Trap or 15-inch SuperSluice. The Backpacker is included in both Garrett gold panning kits.

Work with small loads and a gentle washing action. The riffles assist gold retention, but careful technique is still needed when separating fine gold from the remaining sediment.
