in Praiseworthy's glove
yes. you can pan for gold with a special pan. you will get dust and a possible nugget. the trick is finding the source where the dust is washing into the river. that will be a gold mine when you dig it out. why WOULDN'T you find gold in rivers?!
It is a gold nugget that was found on the bedrock. It is a chunk of gold, maybe bb sized or larger. Larger than dust or sand. More like a pebble or rock sized. A gold nugget is a clump of gold that is small and very precious. To find one in the 1850s gold rush would be a huge achievement.
Let the clay or gravel dry thoroughly, smash it into a powder, and pan it. The gold will remain in the pan. I am told that Gold dust can be separated with a gold rocket manufactured by rotapan.I personally havent tried it.I do have a letter into them now asking to send or take some of my samples to be tried. Hope this helps somewhat. Poormantoo
