original instructions for panning for gold in the valley of vultures
A touch of romance and adventure comes over one when appearing at the bottom of the first gold pan gold spangles and glitter in the sun. Vultures and eagles, high on the horizon, watching the hustle and bustle of the Gold Knight at the stream.
you think I provide a description of the gold rush in the Yukon (Canada) 1898? I report this error by using the example panning for gold in the valley of vultures in Rauris Austria, on the first steps of the gold washing.
gold panning for beginners
Although the issues of gold prospecting and panning for gold are very complex, it is easy to learn gold panning and its technology. Under the motto: "It's all a matter of practice and experience" can fall relatively quickly into the fun.
a certain attitude but you should also bring the start of the search for gold, so does the experience too. Gold washing place (obviously) is outdoors and it is therefore essential for weather-resistant, warm clothes to provide. At work, on or in the stream, should not be missed rubber boots.
The guaranteed success another local knowledge and the obligatory washing bowl (pan) are essential. This they usually get on loan for a small fee, to the designated gold washing areas. I'd like to start with an introductory course "or" beginners course "advise, as the local guide, know the exact points to the successful search for gold. Panning for gold without gold discovery is only half the battle.
What's missing is patience, patience, patience. Panning for gold is like fishing or looking for mushrooms, just not a fast number that is dealt with in 5 minutes. However, they will reward the Gold Fund for their perseverance.
I know I have now written about things they are interested not so much, so they want to learn about the technique of panning for gold and they are now on the following pages.
The technique of panning for gold
The Success of the gold washing is partly in the fact to which exposed areas can be seen from the sand for the gold wash. The technique and the process of panning for gold is easy and can be learned by anyone.
- Choose a comfortable seat at the flowing water.
- Fill in your gold pan gold-sand mixture.
- shake the bowl filled with water 10 times more powerful, so that the heavy gold sinks to the bottom of the wash pan. This solved the same time, the dust particles in the sand.
- Listen to the shaking up and move the dish slightly inclined, still under water, sideways back and forth, so that the uppermost sand drain area can.
- Repeat this step until there is still about a handful of material is in the gold pan.
- This concentrate is lifted out with about 1 / 2 liters of water from the bowl. For this, the rest of the sand content in a circular motion is more and more carefully washed over the bowl edge, until the first gold grains are visible.
- Repeat this procedure and pass in the existing gold with tweezers or toothpick in a water-filled tubes.
- The technique of the gold washing is that the lighter sand - gravel mixture on the side edge of the shower pan out, rinsed is. The heavier gold will remain at the bottom of the basin lie.
The washing gold from the brook, the stream or river
out in the high mountains, the intensive mechanical and chemical weathering, mostly by frost shattering, glaciers and rainfall exposure to a crumbling of rocks and minerals it contains.
The mountain streams that are washed into the valley and it further reduced in size. This natural process must be exposed in the rock and the ore pulp contained grains of gold.
The different muzzle velocities, the bedrock and terrain textures result in a separate deposition of the entrained ore and gold particles in various places.
When the stream reaches the valley floor, the mineral grains, depending on its density (specific gravity) deposited at different locations.
mineral rocks of high density such as gold, silver and other ores prefer to accumulate points from a low muzzle velocity. This is usually around bends, islands and depressions, known in technical jargon soaps.
The competent Goldprospectors knows these soaps by trained eyes. Hence the expression of the national champion in gold panning Josef Haslinger (Rauris): You have to read the stream can.
This ever-lasting natural phenomenon makes it possible that you still equipped with a Pans and rubber boots, gold can be washed from the mountain streams. The prerequisite is that the described mountain ranges contain the gold.
One of these mountains, the Hohe Tauern in Salzburg, where the exploration for gold has a century-long tradition. More on the history of the gold washing goldsuchen.at they read on the pages of.
How long will the beginner need gold panning for gold to be found?
The success of the gold washing is of course strongly depends on which (correct) places you search for gold. But even if you master the correct technique of panning for gold. So the two things you have mastered only after a certain time and training.
knows I want to give a comparison to the points on a fishing creek or river, which is densely as the trout and there's Angel, placed casts. In general, the experienced and expert fishermen will make his catch and take the booty home.
While the technique of Gold panning at home also could learn in a grain of sand and gold-filled tub (a tedious affair) is to find the appropriate locations on the river, only with experience and "reading the river" connected.
Just as the fishing in foreign waters knows where the trout could be said the experienced white gold panning at which bends (soap) is deposited over the gold. But even experienced gold panning are not immune from failure.
The experience of panning for gold Scout Theo Huber Rauris teaches us that the beginner tries it on your own, 90% frustrated, leaves the place of his fortune because he was neither in place nor is the correct technique on the hunt for gold.
Theo Huber reported, therefore, that comes with a beginner's course in gold panning, in the right place and with the right technique, the newcomer in about 20 to 30 minutes for his first gold spangles in the wash pan.
Even the beginners will receive at the beginning of the gold washing course a basic introduction about the area, places, techniques, stream flow and composition of the (wash) material.
under the expert guidance and assistance during the gold washing operation is then not a fast but a guaranteed success possible. The cost of a gold-panning rate range from € 7 (eg in Rauris) and 45 € depending on length, equipment and locations.
A gold washing course for beginners is not absolutely necessary, but for those whose goal is to find now and in future gold, a huge help.
Note:
Please note that work is at gold panning courses accessible to the natural stream and in open terrain. The washing in tubs provided for this purpose is boring and often install only for tourism purposes.
gold panning with children
Although gold panning for kids is always a highlight, you should make sure that with a longer holiday stay, in a gold wash area, an alternative program available.
you will have a day trip to Gold Basin no problems with the motivation of their children. A longer holiday only with the experience of panning for gold is not for children but effective. Children quickly lose the stamina, patience and motivation for a single subject.
Take care that the children soon have a sense of achievement, that is: make Gold Fund and any courses that will be described in a gold fund guarantee. I refer here to the panning for gold on a natural stream and not specifically provided for in vats.
are panning for gold it so these two components as adventure / adventure and endurance / patience. These two demands, it is therefore under a hat to get.
My experience has taught me that subsides after 2 to 3 days, the euphoria of the gold washing in the children. However, it is possible even before the gold washing combined with other adventures.
basis of panning for gold in Rauris I would like to cite some examples of combinations which can be considered.
Note:
Do not forget warm spare clothes to get something to eat and warm drinks.
indispensable to gold panning. The gold pan
is the gold pan, next to an unshakable optimism the most important tool of a gold panner. More on the gold pan and sluice box gold read here ...
are both plastic as used as an iron pans for gold panning. The diameter of a gold pan is between 35 and 45cm. It is estimated that in North America was first used by the Indians of this utensil.
In our latitudes are very often used the plastic cups, as the iron pans degreased before first use, then heated and quenched with cold water will have. Use greased iron pans ever since the depend on the fat gold spangles, is therefore easier and will continue floating.
The iron obtained after greasing pans and quenching a steel-blue color after using the iron pan that is greased back so as to counteract the rust.
used as already mentioned, the majority of gold panning, the plastic pan. The
reason is their portability and stability. More are in the plastic grooves of the pan panning for gold easily make and allow a better yield.
caught on the grooves, the gold spangles and is deposited there. The extraction of gold is a lot easier. Also of importance is the color of Kunstststoffpfanne. Here are selected especially dark colors, where the gold spangles stands out most clearly. Preferably, the colors, dark green, dark blue and dark gray.
If you a real gold pan for the first wash tests are too expensive, you can of course use any similarly shaped object. I am thinking of a disused giant frying pan from grandma's kitchen. Here you remove the style of the pan and is in possession of a functional Gold pan.
Tip:
usually be awarded to a public gold panning sites and gold pans for a small fee. eg in Rauris gold wash bowl made of plastic and shovels to 3.00 € per person per day (as from 2011)
Checklist for gold panning
who embarks on a journey to the gold panning should consider some things to pay to no frustration in the search for the gold can.
first Selection of the place or the river or stream
Select a city or river, where offered gold panning (allowed) is. Make sure that gold prospecting right on the river or stream takes place. Gold panning in tubs, as offered by some resorts is rather boring.
ask in any case before the Check out where and when gold panning is allowed and what equipment they used allowed.
second To avoid long trips and frustration in the search for the gold, I recommend a gold wash course. (About 10 to 40 € per day including equipment). Such a course will be paid 100% strength.
third Rubber boots
are panning for gold on or in the creek / river boots essential best fishing boots are to step height.
4th Warm socks
The water in the stream / river is usually very cold, make compensation for thick socks.
5th Warm clothing
Warm clothing is also frequently required. Make sure that they are making the cold and wet not upset the search for gold. In nature, it can happen that it rains or passes a slip into the stream bed. Take warm spare clothing.
6th Gibe Eating and Drinking
it spot something to eat and drink? Think of her (hungry) children and take them with food. Or how far the nearest store or Gashof away?

it spot something to eat and drink? Think of her (hungry) children and take them with food. Or how far the nearest store or Gashof away?
The gold washing equipment
usually provided the equipment for gold washing course, they inquire in advance .
first Spade shovel better
works best here, the front bucket to top to remove layers of rock or gravel or digging in the river bed. Another a hand shovel and garden hoe respectively. a geological hammer to loosen solid rock. Available at any garden center.
sure what is allowed in the respective gold panning sites.
2.Herzstück the gold pan
this is available in outdoor stores, but in any case where gold panning is available. Gold wash bowls are available in plastic and metal. While the professionals use in many places the metal pan, we from the crowd, the plastic respectively. Kunstoffpfanne used.
usually seen in dark colors for the gold better. At all events, the pan in the inner region, have added grooves that hold the heavier particles and the gold. A plastic pan works just as well as a metal pan and is easier to care above all.
respect :
used in tournaments and competitions flat gold pans are unsuitable for searching for gold at the natural stream / river. Take care. Gold pans are between about 19 and 55 € depending on size and design available. Gold panning can
perhaps be with an old frying pan whose style has been removed. The gold wash bowl with grooves, in any case is more practical and more effective.
third Plastic tubes, tweezers, magnifying glass
The clear plastic tube is used for the gold spangles there be poured. The tweezers to pick the gold from the wash bowl. And look at the little magnifying glass to even the smallest gold particles. For small gold spangles, you can also use the sniffer Bootle found the flakes by pressing that absorbs.
4th Hand-held screen
for washing of coarse material, use a hand sieve. There are also such equipment is available in metal and plastic. The Kunststoffhandsieb enough in any case, especially since this screen, also known as classifier for the novice is not absolutely necessary.
How much to invest € novice gold panning and the costs incurred for the beginner at panning for gold?
Simply put, almost none. One has to journey respectively. The trip to the place of gold washing areas finance, but there are in any case, gold panning places where you have to pay anything.
An example is given Rauris "panning for gold in the valley of vultures." In Rauris no official approval to the gold washing is necessary. The assignment of a gold wash course is not mandatory.
Inform yourself in advance so if they need an official permit for gold panning, or whether the gold washing is generally prohibited.
Basically, we have removed an old frying pan whose style is filled with the sand and gold mixed with the washing begin. This procedure is cumbersome and not very productive. This is probably more to the empathy of the old gold rush to be the goal to find gold grains.
If I assume that it is missing have rubber boots and warm clothing, only a so-called gold pan or bowl to start the gold washing gold washing.
The gold washing mishap, (photo www.goldsuchen.at) is a plastic bowl with built-in side grooves. The grooves are used to the gold spangles, which is heavier than the sand mixture to hold back. Gold pans give it in different sizes and usually in dark colors (dark green, dark blue, black) to be able to recognize this as the gold dust better.
increases the price of such gold pans of the book version 17.95 to about 54 €-stable in execution. However, they have this piece of equipment not buy immediately, as is found in most gold panning courses available to a bowl.
The problem for beginners in the gold washing is not so much the equipment but rather the technology and the locations to search for gold.
I therefore advise you to avoid frustration and failure, in a beginners' course gold panning. On the basis of the gold washing course for beginners in the Valley of the Vultures, Rauris, see what they can Costs thus creating a beginner's course in gold washing.
Note:
gold washing course for beginners with Fund guarantee, rental equipment, glass tubes and a diploma in Rauris cost, 2011 - 7,00 euro The wash cycle refers to the Austrian National Champion panning for gold and the gold wash Sepp Haslinger Scout Theo Huber instead.
The independent panning for gold, including gold wash bowl and blade 3.00 € per person per day. As you can see no case a costly affair.
Tip:
What they need to panning for gold is: patience
