It is the most common drilling technique used for mining exploration, particularly in South America and Australia. RC drilling is a form of percussion drilling, by which the rock is made to fail through the use of a piston that delivers rapid impacts to the drill stem, transferring energy to the drill bit. These blows to the rock are delivered ...

Gold (19.30 grams/cubic centimeter) has a much higher density than copper (8.94 grams/cubic centimeter), so if you can successfully pan the copper you will have little trouble panning gold. Before you go out to pan, be sure that you learn more about gold prospecting methods, and about where gold panning is permitted.

Simple Gold Panning Tips: Bring a pair of thick water boots or waders to keep your feet dry. Even if it's a hot summer day, you probably don't want to have your feet wet the entire time you're panning. Keep a small glass vial on you for storing any gold flakes you come across. They may seem insignificant, but they will quickly add up in value.
