I am an amateur prospector- and panning for placer gold (gold dust) suits me. It requires very little in the way of equipment, is fun, and gives you a great reason to spend a quiet Saturday on the river. However, large commercial mining companies mine gold in a very different way- drilling and blasting rock that is crushed, and the gold refined chemically. The Homestake Mine had shafts nearly 8000 feet deep before it closed.
