yes. you can pan for gold with a special pan. you will get dust and a possible nugget. the trick is finding the source where the dust is washing into the river. that will be a gold mine when you dig it out. why WOULDN'T you find gold in rivers?!

Then you nuggets which have been found as large as baseballs. Most nuggets are the size of peas and up, but are solid and heavier than flakes. Panning for gold is a great and inexpensive hobby, so I hope you can start doing it. Good Luck!!!!
