When you tilt back the pan and become the first person ever to lay eyes on pieces of gold, well, there's nothing quite like that feeling. It's exhilarating - like a bonus for playing outside and making mud pies down at the river. Learning about geology and our natural environment is enjoyable and rewarding and a great way to share some playtime with family and friends.
I enjoyed crystal hunting in our garden as a kid, coming back in with a pocket full of cool rocks. These days, rockhounding and gold panning are two of the ways my exploratory itch gets scratched.
I'd like to share a bit to help you start in gold prospecting adventures and find your first few flakes of gold. If you already have some experience under your belt, we have recommendations for more advanced prospecting tools as well. You don't need a bulldozer and a team of roughnecks to find a bit of gold. Prospecting has always been about a good pair of boots, a shovel and a pan, and the desire to explore. So we’ll start with the basics: where can you look for gold, what equipment gets you started, and some tactics for the hunt.
Then, we'll get a little deeper. But mainly, we're talking about finding placer gold-gold that has been liberated from the rock it was initially deposited in and moved around by water. Gold doesn't rust or dissolve, and it is really heavy relative to other rocks and minerals-so it may be easier to find than you think. You can find some using just a pan and water!
