Gold Panning

For anyone interested in wet panning the following are the common measures that should be done:

• Put the material you suspect has gold in it in a pan or some sort of container.

• Put this under enough water to where it covers it or keep the gold pan full of water.

• Run your hands through the material so that you wet the bottom and cause the liquid to suspend.

• Swirl the pan or container under the water vigorously by using a circular motion.

• Once this has been done you should take the larger rocks out that can be seen and that have been washed clean.

• Then shake the pan in a circular motion again, then sideways, then back and forth.

• Allow the material that is lighter to spill out of the pan little by little.

• What you will be left with on the bottom of the pan will be the concentrates and this will be your concentrates.
