| ~ Gold Prospecting Info & Trivia ~ Gold Panning can be very fun and exciting for all ages! All you need is a gold pan and shovel and a lot of patience! You’ll have a whole lot of fun working hard! And it sure beats going to the Gym for a Workout! FACT: More than 80% of all the Gold in our own California Mother Lode is still waiting there to be found! Making Prospecting, Gold Panning and Metal Detecting an even more enticing past-time! Gold is found in areas where deposits and erosion have occurred. The best places to look for gold is in streams, rivers, ravines, and desert washes - or near boulders, gravel bars, all around tree roots, quartz outcroppings and black sand. Good Metal Detectors may also help you find Gold Nuggets! But be prepared to work and search! Do you have Gold Fever? There’s Good News for you! California and most of the other States have lots of places where you can go Prospecting, Panning and Detecting! It’s also a great Family Activity that everyone can enjoy! Become a Gold Prospector Today! Enjoy Prospecting in the Great Outdoors. |
