VT Ranch, Gold Rush Program

At the outset of the Gold Rush, most prospectors used the panning method to find gold. It’s one of the easiest and cheapest ways to find and extract gold. Pan for gold with us at VT Ranch's California Gold Rush Experience!

Panning for gold isn't the only activity your students can do on our gold rush field trip, but it sure is fun.

Gold rush life wasn't glamorous, but learning to survive was half the fun! https://vtranch.com/gold-rush.php
