Gold Pans - Which One Works The Best?


"Gold Pans - Which One Works The Best?"," They are the very least expensive tools that you can use to search for that magical yellow metal called gold.
 The most common ones are round and they are available in different colors.
 You might not think that color has that much to do with panning for gold but it does.
 The most commonly used colors are black, blue, red and green.
 To me, it is much easier to see that precious yellow gold against the dark black background.
 Like I said everyone's eyes work a little differently so before you buy a gold pan try this test.
 Take a gold ring or necklace and hold it against each color and see which one makes it easier to see the gold.


The next thing to consider is getting a gold pan with riffles or one that is smooth.
 If there is gold in your material and you are panning correctly it will settle down in these little grooves.
 I prefer riffles and I think most newcomers will to.


The riffles work by allowing the heavier gold to fall out of suspension.
 This pattern creates tiny little currents.
 When the gold hits the deeper water it will fall to the bottom because of its weight and the rate at which the water moves over the riffles.


Gold is currently at a record high and some people have quite their day jobs to become full time prospectors.
