K, lets get started. After you trade the saddle for the pan you leave the town.
You look on you map and the star is by the river that has no name it says "examine." So then you have to get the golden nugget in the game! First, five sparkles are going to come up pick the brightest one. After you pick it up shake the pan sideways very slowly if you see the golden nugget make shrue not to drop it. After you get the golden nugget go to rock bridge and sell it to that guy. he will get you 5 diffrent potions which witch will help you catch the gang. Then after he gives you the potions go back and return your gold pan and trade it for the oil. well thats it bye!

Find a sparkle on a rock (top or bottom) and scoop the pan right on top of the sparkle. Shake the pan carefully and there may be a gold nugget. This worked for me but idk bout you. Hope you find it :-)
