What separates gold from sand and gravel as the gold catches on the ridges in the bottom?

Gold is heavier than sand and gravel, so when a mixture of gold, sand, and gravel is agitated in a pan or sluice box, the heavier gold particles settle at the bottom, often catching on the ridges or grooves designed for this purpose. This process, known as panning, uses the difference in weight between the gold and lighter sediments to separate them.
