Gold Panning and Gem Finding: A Treasure Hunter's Guide to Adventure
I have some very fond memories of panning for gold. My first introduction to it was at Edmonton's Klondike Days, now called K-Days. They used to (and maybe still do) have an old gold mine styled attraction where you could buy a bag of sand and gravel and go pan for gold in their running water trough. They'd even have contests for participants who could find the most gold. I won a couple of times and got a commemorative coin for it - hey, that's a big prize for an 8 year old!
