Gold Pans

[Akjaq]

Is there a place in Anchorage to buy a couple of decent pans and a book on how to do it. Trying to think of some family fun for the summer. Dont want to spend a lot of $$$ just want to have the experience of doing it with my kids.....after a few lucky flakes they will probably lose interest anyway. Any advice on a pan would be appreciated. There are 6 of us and they probably wont want to take turns so I guess I'll need 6 pans. Thanks

AK Mining & Diving is the best place I've seen up here.
They have good pans for around $10 each plus the seperator (probably incorrect term)
They also have DVD's and books galore.

AK M&D is over off mountain view dr.

if you look at the Garrett Starter kit there I think its still around 30 bucks..

it gives you a 10" pan, a 14" Pan a 1/2 inch classifier, some crappy tweezers and a vial with a snuffer bottle.. its a great starter set and pretty reasonably priced it even has a instruction booklet I believe to teach ya how to pan.
