panning with the kids.

Just got back from putting on a panning demo for small town kids. It went great for organized chaos. lol  Twenty six kids ages 6-16 got to finish pan for gold after i gave a brief tail of gold and showed them me panning one pan.  Each got a half ounce of cons and went to town. I took the tailings home and ran them through the desert fox and then panned them one last time. The kids found everything but two small flakes.

  • Kids are fun. I worked with a 6 and 7 year old last weekend at our club claim. They really enjoyed finding gold. Especially finding gold before grandpa

  • All the kids found at least one flake, some more.  I had 14 pans so some had to wait to pan but it all went great.

     I took dirt that had always been good for me and then classified it down . It was between 20 and 80  so that is the size I have always found good gold.  Helping a five year old boy pan and finding 3 flakes was something I wont forget. I told him now he was a prospector and he just smiled. 

  • Good deal there John did everyone get some GOLD?

  • that was great of you to do john  I am sure they had alot of fun
