Welcome to Level 2 – Gold Panning Basics
If you made it here, you’re serious about learning—and that’s where this starts to click.
🔸 Simple Gear
Gold pan, small shovel, classifier, snuffer bottle. Keep it simple.
🔸 Where to Look
Gold settles where water slows: behind rocks, inside bends, and in bedrock cracks.
🔸 Basic Technique
Slow down. Shake to drop heavy material, then gently wash off the lighter stuff. Patience keeps the gold in your pan.
🔸 Real Tip
If nothing’s showing—move spots. The creek always leaves clues.
