The Klamath River is one of California's great gold producing rivers. Over the years, the Klamath has produced millions of dollars in gold. Even today, you will see many gold panners and dredgers every summer located all over the Klamath river looking for gold. Those who are patient and work hard are rewarded with color. |

Gold panning is the easiest and quickest way to look for gold. Gold pans generally run about $10.00. The principal is very simple - Gold is heavy and will sink to the bottom of the pan with agitation. With practice, one will easily learn how to swirl and vibrate the pan so that the lighter material raises and falls out of the pan. What is left is the heaviest material and with some luck you will have some gold. Tweezers or a suction bottle will work best to extract the gold from the bottom of the pan. |
