The activity is great, fun for kids and adults, a way to learn about the gold rush through experience. I was a bit disappointed by the guide. He was super nice but didn’t really explain either the reason we are looking for gold nor in advance the steps we needed to take towards finding some. That said, we did find some tiny flakes which were enough to get everyone excited. It was two hours with no kids whining , so big success anyway ☺️

My 8 year old son wanted to try panning for gold. California Gold Panning has alot of good reviews so I booked a 3 hour time slot with them. I thought we would get the full experience of gold panning. We learned where to dig and using the classifier but NO panning. The employee did the panning, put the gold flakes in the glass containers and went on our 1 hour 45 minute drive home.

Was super fun! Got 12 gold flakes, 1 cube of hematite, and 1 flake of lead. Water was cold but we came prepared with surgical gloves and garden gloves to keep hands dry. They had extra boots for the guests that didn’t have a pair. Beautiful creek area, kids had a lot of fun digging around the rocks. Our guide Jared was super knowledgeable and helpful.

We had a blast! The misses, 2 doggies and I took a 3 hour package after reading the reviews and recommendations of others. We found gold! A small specimen, few small flakes and some flour. (Jared if you’re reading this…. We have not appraised the specimen, yet!) It was not a whole lot, but the experience was amazing and Jared was wonderful, great vibe, very friendly and detail oriented. The creek had plenty of shady spots, and refreshing cold water to battle the heat. Come prepared to put in the work. Highly recommend!
