Hi Hank, I hope you enjoy your visit! You and the kids can learn to pan at the Lomax Placer in Breckenridge (run by Breckenridge Heritage Association, confirm in advance). To dig in the wild and learn about other fun stuff to do, grab a copy of my book at Summit Gold in Frisco. (Or any of the other locations listed here: http://www.findinggoldincolorado.com/buy-the-book/

I would like to take two grandchildren panning for gold. This is short notice and I’d be glad to buy your book when we get there. What should we do to find a place to pan?

Hi Wendy! There are lots of good YouTube videos showing how to pan. I like your suggestion that I should create a primer, I’ll find some of the better, existing videos and build from there 🙂

As far as kids go, playing in the creek is fun for a 4 year old, panning only works for most kids at age 10. When the time comes, reach out!!

Enjoyed reading your article. Perhaps you could write a primer on teaching grandkids, along with grandparents, how to pan. Be sure to conduct the class on a future Date Queen site. Yum.

Well, great point! It did take me several hours to dig, process and clean the gold so I think I’ve earned that beer the hard way!
