This is How Gold Pans REALLY Work
There are a lot of people out there who think they know how to use a gold pan. And whilst there are a lot of ways to use one, if you understand how gold pans actually work you will stop loosing gold you didn't know was there!

You are an absolute genius Chris. Appreciate always sharing your knowledge with us!

@driverjamescopeland 20 дней назад

It's not just stratification. It's also fluid dynamics. This is why classifying your material is so important.

@RedJeanetteRedlover 5 месяцев назад

I've got the watching part down. I'm subscribed to you, Chris, to Pauley, Dan Hurd and used to watch Jeff Williams too. I watch gold prospecting on TV too. I think one is called Alaska Gold and the other I think is called Aussie Gold on the Discovery channel. They're reruns but still fascinating! But I've never actually had the opportunity to actually go somewhere where I could pan for gold. And if I could, I think I'd have to pay a tour guide or some kind of amusement facility a fee to pan on their claim. When I was a kid, there was an amusement park with a western theme and they had a 'panning trough', that had play sand and small bits of copper wire cut up, mixed in it. So the kids brought up the shiny metal and the guy in the cowboy hat puts it into a tiny vial for the child as a souvenir. I found that vial years later. The water had evaporated long ago and a chunk of green patina copper wire bits were still in the vial! 😂

@thefirstmissinglink 5 месяцев назад

Nice description of the elements of the pan and their function as well as the process using them. When I was a kid learning to make Adobe blocks, we had a process to stratify the soil that we were using to make the blocks that worked off these same principles. Simply placing a soil sample in a jar of water, shaking the bajeebies out of it and then letting it sit and stratify.

@seanb3516 5 месяцев назад

When swishing the Pan Left to Right you are creating fast and slow water movement. The water at the edge of the pan has to travel faster than the water near the middle of the pan. The gold settles in the slower lower pressure side and we always see the gold nearer the middle of the pan rather than at the outer edge. Friction, water speed, Material Stratification & Cementing, it's a much more complex process than is realized.

@davidhandyman7571 5 месяцев назад

So, the ripples allow you to remove only the top strata of the material which is the least dense. You then are able to remove the next less dense level until you are almost down to the densest level which has the gold in it. Technique is the key to getting the result you want.

@nathanielwilson1404 5 месяцев назад

Excellent explanation Chris! I was wondering why the old timers’ videos from the last century all said not to move the pan forward and back when washing off the light materials. But the later videos all show an in and out method. It’s because they were using steel, non- riffled pans vs the newer riffled pans.

@PrairieProspecting 5 месяцев назад

Hi Chris, On Sunday 10th March 2024 The East Gippsland branch of the PMAV is holding their Gold Festival Day open to all and sundry at Bullumwaal Victoria near Bairnsdale.Displays etc are planned. My purpose at the venue is the gold panning lessons which are a very popular part of our day. Firstly I invite you to come over the Great Divide for our day. A number of us intend being there from around the Thursday before camping and setting up. I just viewed your informative video on panning, a job well done thank you. Would you have any objections with our branch in viewing your video at the festival as I feel it would be of great benefit to both newcomers and the mouldy oldies which is the group I fall under? Hope to see you there. Regards Johnno of Bendoc Victoria ( just ask any official at the venue where old Johnno is)

@rayemillican856 5 месяцев назад

@MickTee2k 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the informative video, but a frame of reference clarification... The light stuff doesn't "float to the top", it is pushed out of the way by the heavier stuff that is pulled down by gravity. Something I had wondered, is if changing water with something with a higher density (such as sugar water at ~1.3) would create a larger relative difference between the black sands and the gold. Not something to do in the field, obviously, but may be worth dissolving 7-8 kg of cheap sugar into 10L of water to run a clean-up sluice as an experiment. It will be messy and sticky, and pumping it may prove problematic but it definitely sounds like an experiment I prefer you do rather than me. ;)

@auriferous4462 5 месяцев назад

The question I have always asked myself, but never tested, is how fast does gold sink to the bottom of the pan? If everything's at the bottom after 10 sec of rigourous shaking, then you should be able to just scrape 95% off for much faster panning.

@VoGusProspecting 5 месяцев назад

I tested it. The question i found is not how fast does it sink, because its very fast, under 10 seconds. But instead how fast does it concentrate in the front edge. That takes a lot of time, about 75% of your total pan time. furthermore it is exacerbated by left or right hand dominance.

@auriferous4462 5 месяцев назад

@@VoGusProspecting Thanks mate, now imagine a pan with a lid, tip it 90° forward and shake after initial shaking, maybe that would get everything to the front. Just brainstorming.

@driverjamescopeland 20 дней назад

Weird tip... When I first started panning, I couldn't get the knack of it. This was back in the day, when coffee still came in vacuum sealed metal cans. To this day, I can work down to cons almost twice as fast with a can, as with a pan.

@seanb3516 5 месяцев назад

No mention of Collared and Non-Collared Pans. I have noticed 2 types of Pans. One has the floor of the pan directly meeting the sloped wall. The other Pan type has the floor connected to a 0.5cm Vertical Collar, and the Collar connects to the Pan Wall. What difference do you find this makes yourself? I do not use the Collared Pans much at all. They have too many nooks.
