How to pan for gold like they did during the California gold rush!

The muddy "river"



Panning for gold.

A gold nugget!


Separating the light weight from the heavy to find the gold.

More gold! I think these girls are ready to go on their first gold panning trip with Bop Bop!


Piper had to join in the fun
These are the things I learned from chapters 1-6: You can find gold where there is blue dirt, the dirt floats to the top of the water and the gold sinks, and that people used to write their names on the walls of their homes before they left to let the next people know who they were and when they left.

    I love the pictures! You created the "river" right in the sink!

    You can put a note on the back of the light switch so when the next person takes it off to paint or just to change it they will have your info!!! Thought that was a good idea!
