Get Yourself a Gold Panning Map and Have a Fun With Your Family

More and more families are feeling the pressures of this tough economy and looking for inexpensive alternatives to expensive vacations.  One such activity that your family would probably have a great time doing is gold panning.  It’s inexpensive and easy to get started in. The hobby of gold panning is one that can be enjoyed by both young and old.  There’s really no age limits to this hobby.  One of the nicest things about this hobby is that it so inexpensive to get started. 
You probably have a lot of the things that you we’ll need already like shovels and buckets.  The only things you’ll need to buy two get started in this hobby are a few gold pans, some plastic eyedroppers for sucking the gold flakes up out of the bottom of the gold pan, and some plastic bottles for storing the gold that you might find.
To get started with this hobby, I would recommend that you sign your family up with a local gold panning club.  These clubs are full of people who are interested in the hobby a gold panning and are more than willing to help your family learn what they need to know. They often have weekend activities where they get together as a club for a fun weekend of gold panning.  This is the perfect way to learn from people who have spent years learning the secrets of gold panning.
While many people will be in willing to help you learn how to pan for gold when you join one of the gold panning clubs, oftentimes people can be quite secretive about their hot spots.  It can be a little frustrating trying to learn where to successfully pan for gold if no one will tell you where to go.  If you go to this website www.goldmapsonline.com you can buy some online gold maps that show every registered gold mining claim in your state.
I live in California so I bought the California gold panning map. Once you know where other people are successfully finding gold, you can go look in the same area.  It’s important to know however that you are not allowed to pan for gold on other people’s claims without their strict written permission.  That’s not to say that you can’t pan for gold upstream or downstream from their claim and be quite productive.  These maps can show you exactly where to look.
