One popular source of gold is mines, miners blast into rocks and look for gold seams, the gold is dug out, purified, and sent off into a consumer world. Another way to get gold is to pan for it. It is done with a sieve in fast flowing rivers, rocks and coarse sand is scraped up from the bottom, passed through the sieve, and the gold flakes extracted and collected. Gold is one of the pure metals, meaning that it is made of only one element, gold. Gold IS one of the Pure Metals however pure gold is so soft, light pressure can change its shape, so in the most common form it is used for, jewelery, copper is sometimes added, to solidify it and keep it in it's post-molded shape.
