14" Antique Metal Gold Pan — 1800s

This antique metal gold pan is the kind used back in the 1800s for prospecting, one of the larger sizes, which let a man sift more sediment at a time and separate the gold from it faster. The old worn metal carries the authentic character of the Gold Rush era and tells you plainly that it was used. It still works if you want to take it down to a creek and let the kids try their luck, and it looks wonderful hung on a cabin wall or leaned against a mantel. This pan measures 14" across.
