Gold panning is an incredibly efficient method of extracting placer gold from its host material (like gravel or sand). The gold pan goes way back, much farther than the American gold rush(es).
The most significant improvement to the gold pan was when the Chinese miners hammered riffles into one side of their steel pans. This gave the gold a place to settle and made losses virtually insignificant.
Other than the Chinese improvement in the mid-1800's, the basic gold pan design hasn't changed much since its invention.
