Yes they were the first to use the pan.. I have wondered about the also and finally found the answer..
Depends what time in the island you are in. First you need the gold pan to get a gold nugget to give to the medicine man, then you swap the gold pan for oil can, which you need to fix the clock tower.Hope this helped. This walkthrough was typed by Ames.
He uses it as a pan
There are many things that you could use to mind for gold. Some of which are shovel, pick, cradle and a pan
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
A pan, water and rocks. == ==
Metal detectors, or they pan for it in a river.
give to the guy in the trading place and trade it for a gold can. go get some gold then go back to the trade place. give him back his gold pan and trade your gold with the oil pan wich you can use for the clock
you trade it for the gold pan
Panning was a method for separating gold from gold-bearing soil. It involved the use of a solid pan. An amount of potentially gold-bearing dirt was placed in the pan with some water, and gently swished and shaken around, a process which would bring the smaller particles of gold to the surface.
To determine if the flakes in the silt are gold, you can use a gold pan and water to pan for gold. Gold is very dense, so it will sink to the bottom of the pan. Swirl the pan to wash away lighter materials and concentrate the gold flakes at the bottom. You can also use a magnifying glass to examine the color and shape of the flakes closely - gold flakes will have a distinctive bright yellow color and often have a flattened, irregular shape.
One can use gold pumps in order to suck water and gold containing debris particles into a tube. Once released into a sifting pan one can separate gold from rocks.
You go to the river and search for the gold nugget. You then buy the tonix (or whatever) and then you go back to the trading outpost and trade the gold pan for the oil can. You then use the oil can on the clock tower and then your good to go!
