Summer 2013 Road Trip Day six.3: Panning for Gold

 Carsen's choice was panning for gold and gems at Big Thunder Gold Mine.
 

 
We learned how to pan for gems in the big blue strainer.  The kids were given a brochure that listed gemstones and minerals from around the world.  There was also a list of rocks and fossils that could be collected as well. 




 
We left with a bag of undetermined rocks/gems and a vile with 2 flecks of gold.
