A huge thank you to everyone who has supported The Panners Mate so far.

What started as an Australian idea and invention has grown thanks to the support, feedback and encouragement from prospectors all around the country.

We genuinely appreciate all the feedback, photos, videos and stories you’ve shared along the way. It’s helped us continue improving and growing.

Big thanks to Donnie and Ronnie at Pascoelads Prospecting Australia for taking the time to check out The Panners Mate while we were up in Clermont.

Getting feedback from experienced prospectors who spend real time in the goldfields means a lot to us.

After running material through the unit, they even tested the overthrow after finding gold in the pan to see if anything was getting away.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Thankyou for taking the time to show us how the Panners Mate works, we tested the overthrow after finding gold in the pan and there were no losses to be seen 👍”

That’s exactly what The Panners Mate was designed for — high recovery rates while using minimal water, especially out in remote dry-country conditions where every litre counts.

Great catching up with passionate prospectors who are helping keep Australian gold prospecting alive and growing.
