أكمل القراءةGold pan is the most basic piece of prospecting equipment. It is both the beginning and the end of the gold prospecting process. It is usually used for sampling before you set up a sluice, highbanker, or dredge. The pan is used for the clean up of concentrates that are collected by those larger pieces of mining equipment.
أكمل القراءةProspecting for placer gold, except perhaps in the case of buried placers, is the simplest form of prospecting. Gold, platinum, and tin are the principal metallic minerals won from placers, but gold (alloyed with varying percentages of silver) is the only metal that has been recovered in commercially important quantities from placers in the United States.
