Prospecting!

The library put on a program about prospecting. The boys and I went to it and learned some new things! The boys got to try their hand at panning for some fake gold. The boys thought that it might be real but they were told that real gold goes for $1483 an ounce. So fake gold was obviously used.The boys and one of the prospectors learning how to pan for gold

Panning
Look what happens when you pan. All the rock and sand is lighter than the gold. So the gold stays in the pan. Kind of cool!
