[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 653542, member: 4012"] This (slow-loading) US article about present-day panners working California rivers and the backstory of the historic 1848-56 goldrush days in that region, is a good read for those interested in such topics. Australians too, travelled across the Pacific to join the US West Coast goldrush and some returnees, with newly-gained experience of gold district geology, prospecting/mining techniques and equipment, were among the forerunners of Australia's own gold-mining boom from the mid-1850's onwards.
