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.

Its ablility to separate solutes.
You can evaporate the water from the sugar.
Solubility is a physical property of matter. This is the process in which two separate states of matter can be perfectly combined to create an entirely new type of matter.
It is both:It is a physical property because the solid salt becomes part of the liquid state of the water.It is a chemical property because the act of dissolving in water changes the salt (NaCl) into separate ions.

Only the water evaporates. (At least at reasonable temperatures.)
separate heating, lights, water
Use water. Mix it around, the sugar will dissolve into the water. Use a siv to separate the water and the sand, put the water in a container and wait for the water to evaporate: leaving sugar and sand.
Fresh water filled.
Heating it to extremely high temperature or just elctrolysis
The water was turbulent, forming worls and eddies as the boat passed by.
