| − | Gold was among the first metals to be mined because it commonly occurs in its native form, that is, not combined with other elements, because it is beautiful and imperishable, and because exquisite objects can be made from it. It changes constantly, due to hundreds of factors, ranging from the opening of a new gold mine, to the changes in interest rates of one currency or another. Of all the commodity markets, the gold market is probably the largest and most free market in the world. Small-scale recreational prospecting for placer gold has been seen in many parts of the world including the US. Here are some tips in getting a good nugget once you are on the field.

| − | Gold prospecting is definitely one of those money generating hobbies. Gold prospecting is the process of separating the gold from dirt, clay and sand using a gold pan. The easiest way to find places to pan for gold is to go where people have found gold before, it's not as easy as just going out and start panning in the nearest stream. The use of gold pans is centuries old, but is still common among prospectors and miners with little financial backing.

| − | Gold prospecting is simple. The process basically consists of placing the material that you want to process into your pan and shaking it in a left to right motion underwater to cause the gold, which is heavy, to work its way down toward the bottom of your pan. If the current is too strong though, you will find it difficult to work the pan. There will always be lots of little tiny bits of gold too.

| − | The Homestake mine in South Dakota is 8,000 feet deep, has accounted for almost 10 percent of total United States gold production since it opened in 1876. Magnetite is the most common mineral in black sands, but other heavy minerals such as cassiterite, monazite, ilmenite, chromite, platin. During World War I and for some years thereafter, the annual production declined to about 2 million ounces. Shortly after the start of World War II, gold mines were closed by the War Production Board and not permitted to reopen until 1945. Each market reacts to news as it; happens, and gold is always trading, wherever the sun shines as the earth turns. Each year, approximately 2500 tons of gold were mined throughout the world.

| − | There are many tools that can be used in gold prospecting from the conventional to the high tech. Even though it is mainly a sampling tool, a gold pan is inexpensive and is easy to use. A sieve is another tool used to sift out panning material for further concentration. In our modern times, many prospectors use machines such as the gold wheel which draws the water in-including the sediments and gold-and does the work for you. Crevice tools and pry bars are bent hardened tools used to dig or pry deep in cracks or crevices and pull out material that may contain gold that concentrated there. In some states, gold prospectors are required to follow the rules under the general license to legally pan for gold.
