	Gold Pans and How to Pan for Gold
		The ''standard'' steel gold pan of old was 16'' wide at the top, 10'' wide at the bottom, and 2.5'' deep.
		In general green is considered one of the best colors for a gold pan as it contrasts well both with the gold and the sand from which the gold is being liberated.
		The gold or lead is much heavier than an equal size piece of sand, and so with all the material moving around the test samples will quickly sink to the bottom of the pan.

	Gold Pans
		The gold pan is the sole piece of equipment that all prospectors need.
		The most common sizes of gold pans are the 8 to 12 inch pan, used primarily for sampling, or clean up.
		The 14 inch pan is a good multi use pan and seems to be the most popular size.

	Rockman's Gold
		Gold is used in window glass and the face plates in the helmets of astronauts to deflect dangerous infrared radiation.
		Gold freed by weathering or other processes from lode deposits is likely to accumulate in placer deposits because of its weight (gravity causes it to migrate toward the lowest spot) and resistance to corrosion.
		The process of washing material in a pan, referred to as "panning," is the simplest, most commonly used and least expensive method for a prospector to separate gold from the silt, sand and gravel of stream deposits.

		One or two gold pans, usually a round 14" diameter green plastic pan, though there is a variety of types, sizes, shapes and colors available and everyone has their preference.
		Gold pans are best used with water, but with practice they can be used for dry panning when no water is available or for sampling.
		Gold does not collect on smooth bedrock where it is feasible to use a broom, but in all sorts of cracks, crevices and indentations where a broom is useless.

	The Gold Pan
		The Gold Pan is used wherever gold occurs in approximately 75% of all the countries in the world.
		Leveling the pan from time to time and shaking it back and forth will cause the light material to come to the surface and the gold to settle to the bottom.
		Tilt the pan slightly towards you and swirl the water slowly in a circular motion to check the pan for nuggets and pieces that are easily picked out by hand.

	Gold Pans, Sieves
		Panning is one of the very basic methods employed to test for the presence of minerals in river bed sands and gravels.
		Gold is about 19 times heavier than water (specific gravity) and will therefore sink to the bottom of a gold pan very quickly if agitated.
		Gold pans for competitions are generally designed specifically for that task to comply with certain regulations and are not necessarily suited for everyday panning and sampling.

	Early Gold Mining Methods
		The gold panner patiently crouching alongside a river is symbolic of the Gold Rush, and yet gold pans were probably the most ineffective of all the miner’s tools, even though that is what most miners used early on.
		Although gold pans were much in evidence during the early days of the Gold Rush, miners used them less and less as time went on and they created better gold extraction devices.
		However, since gold was not always found next to streams, miners often had to get the water to where the gold was, and thus elaborate networks of mining ditches were built throughout the gold country; remnants of these ditches can be found even today, and now some are used for agriculture.

		Using a gold pan, dip some water out of the stream and splash all the rest of the stuff left in the sluice into the bucket.

	Gold Panning
		While the pan is held in a flat position under water, shake the pan in a circular or back-and forth manner.
		The purpose of the shaking is to stratify the contents of the pan in layers so that the heavier minerals are concentrated on the bottom and the lighter material moves upwards.
		Panning is the most arduous and lowest capacity method that may be used to wash gold from placer gravel.
