The next day we visited the Eldorado Gold Mine, a working mine where we were met by the mine train and transported to the mine. Here they demonstrated the operation, they used sluice which carried water over the gravel and washed out the big gravel so that under the drain pads were the fine gravel that needed to be panned for gold dust. Any nuggets would show up at the beginning of the sluice since they would be heavier than the rest of the rock.
