You might ask why Hardware Sales would sell gold pans. Before we changed our name to Hardware Sales in 1971 we were called Powder Sales. We sold dynamite and mining equipment to local miners and loggers. So in a way we are getting back to our roots. And what better way to do that then to do it with Estwing, another great American company. These steel Estwing gold pans are Made in America and have both deep and shallow riffles all the way around. These gold pans are perfect whether youre an experienced gold miner with your own claim or a greenhorn hoping to strike it rich.
