*I know from experiance banging on a Tinpan can wake the dead and scare
Bear!  *The entire history of American intrest in California is based on a
"Tinpan"
used to sort out Gold from the placer streams of "El Dorado"...

Placer miners would 'fire a pan to darken it with carbon and heat to show the
"color"
as they dipped and swirled river bottoms...

Tin Pans doubled as bake'n trays for sourdough bread...cooked right in the
fire
or later in ovens.. *Just how did the trail cookie serve Mooseberry Pie
without
the essencial "TINPAN?"

If'n I was a headed fer Rendezvou in the early days.. I'd be looking to get
a new shirt and a tin pan to eat out of!   Life changed for the better when
Hudson's Bay sold cast iron pots.. *People could boil food and serve it hot!
...into a Tinpan!

Yes they used goards-wood bowls and carved out burls.. *But the lowly
tinpan or Pieplate was easy to carry and lasted a long time.. It was just
'civilized...

Mayby you could develop it into a Frountier "Frisbie?" like in "Back to the
future 3"
