This method is done by picking gravel along the riverside of and deeding it in water then shaking it. Because of the density of the gold it will settle down the pan and allow the gravel up. The gravel is carefully allowed to wash away living the alluvial gold. This method of extraction is done by small scale gold producers - it is a very cheap way of extracting gold, and it does not need much expertise to get involved in it. Special metal detector equipments are used to locate deposit and these metal detectors will scan the area and then give detailed information on the availability of any alluvial gold.
