Before you book or buy

Tourist panning operations run seasonally and many take bookings only by phone or email; supply shops in gold country often keep short winter hours. Assay labs quote per sample and want a proper submission form. Confirm on the operator's own site — the link on each card — before you drive.

Panning-area, claims, and regulation information on LocalKarat is general information for recreational prospectors — it is not legal advice. Mining, land-access, and environmental rules change and vary site by site. Verify current rules with the official sources linked on each page, get permission from private landowners and claim holders, and respect First Nations rights, settlement lands, and treaty areas.
