alluvial gold
Panning during the California Gold Rush was a simple method used by prospectors to extract gold from riverbeds and streams. Miners would fill a shallow pan with sediment and water, then shake it to separate lighter materials from heavier gold particles. This technique was popular due to its accessibility, requiring minimal equipment and allowing individuals to search for gold in various locations. Panning was a key method that contributed to the rapid influx of fortune seekers to California in the mid-19th century.
