A gold panning kit is the easiest way to get started with gold panning. All the panning kits below except for the kit for kids includes the 14 inch Proline Professional pan. Most kits include at a minimum a pan, a snuffer bottle for sucking up the gold, and a vial for keeping the gold. Here’s a couple of kits I’ve found that also includes a book with 80 pages of gold panning and prospecting basics.

Great Additions to the above gold panning kits
Gold Panning concentrates is basically dirt that is guaranteed to contain real gold. This makes it possible to practice panning in your own backyard without having to find your own gold bearing material in the field. Fancy Litter Gold Panning Concentrates is “pure Oregon pay dirt” and contains real gold and black sands.
Classifiers are also popular additions, as they make it a lot easier for the prospector to process gold bearing material. The Garrett Classifier is a good beginners choice.
