The Panners Mate

The Panners Mate is a compact, flat-pack gold concentrating system built for Australian prospecting. It’s designed to set up easily in a regular plastic storage tub, giving you a stable, low-water working setup anywhere. Using a simple rotate-and-sieve action, it breaks down clay, removes excess material and reduces your paydirt fast, all while using only a small amount of water. Lightweight panels assemble in minutes, making it easy to carry in a backpack, ute or caravan, and simple to post Australia-wide. With a proven 93–95% recovery rate and tough construction, the Panners Mate helps beginners and seasoned fossickers process more dirt and find more colour with less effort.
