Reddit reviews Supersluice Gold Pan, 15"

:D reminds me of when I got started almost exactly.
I have that exact sluice and still use it for test panning when I do test pan. I also bought a 48" Keene hand sluice, which I use all summer long for classifying the material from my dredge.
Each person has their preference in gloves. I do not like to spend a lot of money on gloves. But need something that still has grip when my hands are wet. I like these types of gloves personally. They will last around 2 weeks 8-10 hours a day in the water with the dredge.
I would say bring some Jet Dry or Dish Soap if you get super fine gold it will float right out of your pan. Extra tweezers and maybe snuff bottles.. You will eventually decide which kind of pan you prefer, I personally have come to the conclusion 1 LARGE Green pan, and one smaller black pan. Throw some lead shot into that paydirt and practice bending over in awkward positions because when you are panning at a creek or a river its never ideal unless you just get in. For shoes I buy whatever pair of shoes are $10 at walmart because they're going to get destroyed.

Good luck!
