It is used to find gold.......
A gold pan is typically used for washing gold. It is a shallow, wide-bottomed pan used to separate gold from sediment in rivers and streams by swirling water and material in the pan.
Back then, one of the best ways to find gold was to pan it out of the river.Panning is when you take a pan with holes and all the water drains out, but the gold stays in the pan.
You trade the oil can for the gold pan after you trade the saddle for the gold pan. Saddle to gold pan to oil can.
"pan"
The gold pan was used as a tool to separate the gold from the other river gravels. Gold is more dense than the gravel and will works its way down through the gravel under the right conditions. The gold pan helps provide these conditions. A miner would fill the pan with gravel and water. He or she would then agitate the material in the pan by shaking it side to side or in a circular motion. This would loosen up the gravel and allow the gold to sink to the bottom of the pan while the litter gravel was washed out of the pan by the moving water.
pan for gold!
you get the gold pan from the barter store
They used pan,filters,and chisels. The pan was for putting the gold in, the filter was for separating sand and rocks, and the chisels were for breaking rocks
Density. Gold has an extremely high density relative to the rest of the sand in the pan and will therefore fall to the bottom as one swirls the pan around. The water is there to provide a means by which to circulate the dirt mixture and eliminate the "sand" (the sand gets suspended in the water and spills over the sides of the pan as it is swirled). And that's pretty much panning for gold.
