I did a bit of gold panning years back (over 10). You used to be able to join panning clubs which had claims you could pan (rules of what you could do i.e. no dredging or sluice boxes) . Don't know if there is anything like that anymore. You don't do it for money, just the experience as you would make more money picking bottles, but it was a great way to see some of the back country.
