gold panning

TIP! Plastic gold pans are recommended for most folks, especially beginners. Plastic has significant advantages over the older metal pans-- they are lighter, don't rust, nor do they conflict with the use of a magnet. Most pans are 10 to 18 inches in diameter at the top, with the sides sloping at roughly 30 to 45 degrees. The exact size is not all that critical as long as it's comfortable for YOUR hand and allows you to shake the pan so that the gold settles downward and allows you to wash the lighter material off the top. After all the lighter materials have been removed, only the heavy concentrates will remain in pan-- and with practice, you'll see a gleam at the bottom! Click here for tips on How to Pan for Gold.
