Gold panning is a fun and educational experience for anyone. Nothing beats finding your first piece of gold! Gold Rush paydirt from Alaska is composed of coarse decomposed granite sand containing quartz and other minerals. Each bag is classified down to approximately one-half inch, making it ready to pan. Paydirt is for recreational purposes and may contain nuggets, pickers, fine gold, and/or black sands. Basic instructions for gold panning: Mix paydirt well as contents may have settled during Priority Mail shipping. Scoop paydirt into pan a few teaspoons at a time, then work up to several tablespoons on subsequent pans. Add water and swirl to allow gold to separate/sink to bottom of pan and collect in the riffles. Remove excess gravel/sand by holding pan under the water and tilting it down and away from you repeatedly. Rinse bag your paydirt arrived in with water to capture any fine gold that may be stuck to the inside of the bag. Wash your hands with soap and water after panning. When you find gold, hollar "Eureka!" Revisit this page to purchase more bags. Good luck and have fun! |
