How to Pan for gold a few simple steps

In this video, Graham shows us how to pan for gold. In a few simple steps, an individual could become rich!!! Graham is working with sandstone in Virginia in a swamp like area, but this process could be done in any river. Gold usually gets stuck in cracks in the sides of rivers, and in this case, the cracks are in sandstone rock in this swamp-like area. Shovel up some of the sandstone bed bedrock, or whatever type of material is available, place the shoveled up material in the pan. Fill up the pan with water and sift unwanted materials over the side. Continue this process until all unnecessary materials are out of the pan. Heavier materials, such as gold, will remain in the bottom of the pan and will be available to the person panning for gold once this process is complete!
