Gold panning is the process of using a gold pan to extract small particles of gold from natural deposits. Gold is one of the most valuable minerals in the world and it has been mined for thousands of years.
Gold Panning also involves using a metal detector to find gold. The process can be used by individuals, companies, and governments as an alternative to mining.
Gold Panning is not just about finding gold but also about finding out more about where it can be found and how it was formed.
