Do people still pan for gold in Alaska?
Absolutely! There are still places where you can try your hand at panning! Many tour packages include a visit to either the El Dorado Gold Mine or Gold Dredge No. 8 mine where you can tour the mine itself and even do some panning at the end of the tour — most people leave with a few flakes! Both are open to the general public as well. Supplies are included and at some places food is available as well as a gift shop for picking up souvenirs.
