FAQs About Gold Mining & Rockhounding Tools
Q: What’s the best gold pan for beginners?
A: A 300mm Estwing pan offers a great balance of size and control—ideal for learning the swirling technique.
Q: How do I know if a river has gold?
A: Look for exposed bedrock, crevices, and gravel bars. These areas trap heavier materials like gold.
Q: What’s the difference between a rock pick and a hammer?

Q: Is gold panning legal in NZ rivers?
A: Yes, but always check local regulations and avoid protected areas. Many regions welcome recreational panning.
