Striking it rich! Finding the mother lode! 'Tis the stuff of
miners' dreams. Unlike professional gold seekers, recreational gold
panners benefit mostly from the adventure. The entire family can
share in the fun of prospecting and gold panning. In this booklet,
we explain basic gold panning techniques, how to find gold, discuss
mining rights and guidelines, and identify areas available for
recreational panning on the Chugach National Forest portion of
Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Recreational gold panning on lands
withdrawn from mineral entry is not a mining activity-it is a
privilege. Be aware that panning, sluicing, and suction dredging
can adversely affect water quality, thereby impacting vegetation,
fish, wildlife, and ultimately people. During the process of
separating soil from minerals, silt may be washed into streams,
creating turbid water. Fish, fish eggs, and the aquatic insects
have difficulty living in heavily silted water because of its
reduced oxygen supply.
