It is known as panning, usually for gold nuggets, using a shallow metal pan.

Kentucky does not have favorable conditions for finding gold. The geology is not condusive for finding gold in quantity. Most of the surface rocks are sedimentary and there hasn't been any tectonic,metamorphic or igneous event to make conditions good for gold prospecting. That being said, Can you prospect for gold in Kentucky? Yes, if you can find someplace to prospect, you can go ahead.

No, it was discovered in Sutter's Creek near Sacramento this started the California Gold Rush which brought many settlers out from the eastern United States to the western.

San Francisco was the closest major port city.

Early 1860s. The prospectors were mostly a combination of disgruntled miners that had failed in the California gold rush and Confederate deserters fleeing the Civil War. The first strike was at Gold Creek between Garrison and Dearlodge, but the rush quickly moved south to Nevada City and Virginia City. Helena, the state capital, was the site of one of the largest strikes and triggered its own gold rush in 1864.

Gold was discovered in 1858 and by 1861, 100,000 people came to mine gold.

A gold laptop will be expensive- maybe in the 2000 range.

No. Most didn't find gold, and went home broke. Some opened stores and one came up with an idea for a better pant. His name was Levi Strauss and he introduced brads to seams on a blue jean material so it would hold up better in the dirt and water. Another came up with an idea for a bread and it was for a sourdough bread that is still made today in San Francisco.

Yes! There are many places to prospect for gold around Vegas! I would suggest joining a local club! They can help you legally find gold! They will have claims you can use. If you go to someone else's claim without permission, you would be claim jumping, which is a federal offence! This means jail time and a fine.

The largest prospecting club that has claims all over the country, and a few within 2 hours of Las Vegas is the Gold Prospectors Association of America (GPAA).

If you mean Algonquian Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.... No it isn't.

NO mining allowed in Provcincial or National Parks in Canada.

Sluices were first used in the alluvial mining of gold placer deposits during the California Gold Rush.

gold is processed by getting gold from the gold mine, then they make it into gold bars and send it off. the shape it by melting it in a thing that they want to shape it in.

In Doncaster (UK) you can detect anywhere that you have permission from the landowner (and tenant if relevant) as long as it is not a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI), Ministry of Defence (MOD) site or Scheduled Monument (SM).

The ore must be assayed.

There is x number of gold coins in the pot.

x = y/z, where y is equal to the cubic area of the pot, and z is equal to the cubic area of the gold coin.

True, there are often times pots of gold that are heaped up, but the question asked how much god is "in" a pot of gold.

Yes.

Gold is still expensive, and if you find enough you can still get rich.

Prospecting for gold is like prospecting for anything else, be it a job or a spouse. A good gold prospector will do a lot of research before ever leaving his house. But once you find a likely place to look you go out with a gold pan or metal detector and take samples to try and locate a deposit of gold. This can happen with your first pan or it could take years or could never happen at all. In basic terms; Prospecting is the "search" for gold, Mining is the "extraction & processing" of gold.

Hope this helps

Possibly at bedrock. or at the mouth of. dry streambeds emptying out of the Mazatzal Mts. northeast of Phoenix.

A 1 ounce nugget will have the same gold weight value as flakes. However, the nugget will have an intrinsic value of anywhere from 10-25% higher than the weight value. So to answer your question. No, these are different. The only way you will get this higher value is to sell to a person instead of a company, unless it is a jeweler.

Silver, copper, and zinc. However, other metals may be added, especially to make colored gold.

They didn't have big equipment like so they would run a pipe up hill into a dammed up spot in the river and the pressure would wash away the banks of the hill and leave the heaver gold then they would sluice it and pan it they were able to move allot of earth that way and scared the land.

The Klondike gold rush began in July of 1897 and the Klondike hopefuls, which were miners of all sizes and shapes, were referred to as "Stampeders".

The best place to prospect for gold is where gold has historically been found. Gold bearing streams and rivers are well known and present the best place for finding more gold.
