The Trinity bowl is designed for moving many pans full of material before you do a clean up. So you could say the Trinity bowl is a production pan, for moving volume amounts of pans full to very minimal clean-ups. It is made of no-break polypropylene plastic with a UV additive built into the plastic to keep it from fading in the sunlight. These are important features to have in a pan that is guaranteed for life. The Trinity bowl is made in 2 distinct colors, blue and green, I have a lot of people ask which is the better one, and I must say that it is probably blue. This particular blue is actually called Midnight Purple and the gold really jumps up off the plastic, so it is easy to see even the very finest of gold. The flour gold is easy to see as well.

The Trinity bowl is very easy to use FOR THE BEGINNER AS WELL AS A SEASONED PANNER. It does take some time to get used to the panning concept but once easily mastered it is very simple.

Here are some useful tips about how the Trinity bowl is used. First get a pan full of material, then cover the material with water and start to stratify the material and get it all in a liquid state. This is the time when we want the gold to slide down the raised center to the round circular bottom, when the gold gets to the circular bottom it will make its way around and drop into the trap. Once the gold is in the trap it is 'trapped'. And it is not going anyplace.
Now that you have all the gold in the trap you are ready to wash off you waste gravel and rocks. You first move all of your material to the base of the large riffle side. Once you have all the large material at the base of the large riffles wash them out of the pan like you normally do in a conventional gold pan.
You will notice that the trap is also filled with black sand and that is great; we want the black sand in there to help hold the gold in the (30 recessed riffles) in the bottom of the trap.

When you are washing the gravel out of your pan there are 3 reversed rifles at the base of the larger riffles. Those three reversed riffles are a safety feature; they act just like sluice box riffles-any gold that did not drop into the trap will jump out behind these three reversed riffles and not be washed out. This way you can wash off the waste rocks and gravel a lot easier and faster than in a regular conventional gold pan.
After washing off all the waste rocks and gravel you need to check the troughs (riffles) and see if there is any gold trapped behind them. If there is, take and swirl some water through the troughs and wash the gold into the trap. Now you have an empty pan except for what is in the trap, so this is where you are going to fill the pan up with more material and follow the same steps that we just covered; you can continue doing this until you are ready to do a clean up.

THE CLEAN UP:
Now to some people this is a little tough but once it is mastered people are going to love panning again. At this point we are only working the side of the pan that has the trap and the climbing sluice. With the trap full of material we want to stratify the material from side to side, cover the material in the trap with water and shake the pan from side to side, this allows the gold to drop out into the bottom of the trap and into the (30 recessed riffles); once that is completed the top martial in the trap is waste and can be washed out of the pan through the rising sluice. To do this you dip the pan in water and submerse the sluice below the water line and move the pan in a side to side motion allowing water to come in and out of the pan.

After you have washed most of the waste material out of the trap it is time to work the bulk of the black sand out of the trap as well. This is where it can become tricky, you must submerse the sluice below the water line and move the pan from side to side, IT IS IMPORTANT TO GO SIDE TO SIDE, the material should be moving back and forth in the trap (not in and out but from side to side), this allows the gold to really have a chance to drop out and into the sluice channel and flare of the sluice. NOW AT THE SAME TIME YOU MUST DIP AND RAISE THE PAN IN AND OUT OF THE WATER. This allows water to come into the pan and wash out though the sluice, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER SIDE TO SIDE AND UP AND DOWN IN THE SAME MOVEMENTS. Once this is accomplished the black sand concentrates will flow right out of the pan and the gold settles right into the flare of the sluice.

You continue to do this until you are left with nothing but your gold.

It is a very easy way of panning once it is mastered it makes panning so much more fun.

To get the gold out of the pan take a snuffer bottle and sniff the gold off of the platform (the large flat area in front of the first sluice riffle) and continue moving the gold onto the platform until you have retrieved all of the gold.
