Hello,

Gold mining can use several different techniques, depending on the situation involved and the type of mining being done. Some techniques and tools are relatively simple, so much so that nearly anyone could do it. Other techniques are going to be very detailed and exacting, taking a great deal of expertise and specialized gold mining equipment. One of the easiest types of gold mining is the technique known as panning. Mining for gold using this technique involves no more equipment than a simple pan and is, perhaps, the most well known type of gold mining. Ironically, it may also be the technique that yields the fewest results. To use this technique, one simply needs to find a pan and a pile of dirt or muck. In most cases this is done by rivers. Sediments are collected and placed in the pan. Water is used to wash out the lighter materials, leaving the heavier metals, hopefully gold, in the bottom of the pan. In popular culture, the panning method of gold mining has resonated with many people. In fact, in areas where gold mining used to be popular, tourist attractions trying to capitalize on that history by offering to recreate that experience. This is, perhaps, one reason why the mental image of panning for gold remains so strong in people's minds.
