Hobbies And Interests
Gold Pan
The most important basic tool for gold panning is the actual pan. From start to finish this is what you will use to collect soil to examine for gold dust. The hobby is named after this tool because it is necessary for basic gold-finding tasks.
Filters
Filters are used to weed out large, useless rocks and other debris from the finer material you are panning for gold. By using filters, the panner can focus on the dirt without larger obstructions, which will give the panner the best chance of finding gold.
Shovels
If you find hints of gold, you will need to dig farther if you want to find that mother vein of riches. Shovel sizes can vary and the type you need largely depends on where you dig. Also, digging deeper in areas where gold is thought to be may help you access the rare metal.
Snuffer Bottle
Snuffer bottles may not be as well known as other gold panning tools, but for the serious gold panner it is an essential item. This bottle is used to capture the finest particles of gold that basic panning cannot capture.
