I think the word you seek is Panning, not Planning. Gold, when found as a fairly pure metal, can be separated from rock/sand by panning or a sluice box due to the much greater weight of gold. However, iron is rarely found as a pure metal, but as an ore that must be refined to get iron. The iron is chemically combined with something else, such as oxygen.
