Gold Panning

 

This Zone began yielding its large gold reserves from the 1860s after prospectors began with panning .  A huge rush then transformed this land and the economy of the country.

By learning the art of gold panning we begin to understand more about gold's physical properties, we may get a taste of its addicting power and we better understand the various other industrial processes that we can examine at various nearby locations
