I have heard tell of gravel pit panning for gold on a small scale. Like a wheelbarrow at a time . Does anyone know anything about this?

Round rocks and sand. The odd's have to be that if your in a gold area there is going to be gold in those old river rock....Art

Unnamed Gold Prospect and Sand and Gravel Pit Mine in United States
Thak you,
There is a couple of new Gravel Pits here in Sacramento. These new gravel plants are located in the old Dredger Tailing Piles. My son is working for a mining company in the Artic Circle that is on the site of old Dredger Tailings. He tells me that the tailing piles insulate the ground below some what and are easy to remove. That means the ground below is not as frozen and can be dug up much easier. He has not saw any gold as he is a heavy equipment operator but he is told they are getting over a half million dollars in gold per week. For those of you that have never saw Dredger Tailings they are piles river rock stacked as high as 50 feet above the land surface and full of rattle snakes and are miles wide and many miles long..Art
