What you can expect

Pan for gold in the creek of a rich gold mining town. Enjoy nature, see free-range cattle, breathe fresh air, and feel the crisp water along Caliente Creek.

Gold panning, or simply panning, is a form of placer mining and traditional mining that extracts gold from a placer deposit using a pan. The process is one of the simplest ways to extract gold, and is popular with geology enthusiasts especially because of its low cost and relative simplicity.

It's a great activity for all ages and is a fun and unique way to spend time on a beautiful stretch of water. Typical small sizes of panned gold are called fines, flakes, and small pickers. Larger nuggets are rare, but even small amounts of gold are worth money.
