Mannheim: Gold panning with a local guide and accessories Mannheim: Gold panning with a local guide and gear

Come and pan for gold with us: In a group, the guide will show you how to hold the pan, the right swinging rhythm, and how to separate minerals. Rental equipment is included, and with a bit of luck, you'll take home some gold.
What to expect: 100% hands-on practice instead of lectures, clear step-by-step instructions, and personal support in a small group. You'll practice the correct posture for the gold pan, develop a safe swinging rhythm, purposefully separate light from heavy minerals, and understand how to recognize typical deposits.

Here's how it works: After a quick arrival, you'll get a concise briefing on safety, the terrain, and the equipment. Then it's time to hit the water: technique training, sediment testing, selecting suitable spots, concentrated washing, and securing potential finds. At the end, you'll get practical tips on how to continue on your own.

What's included: Equipment is rented (gold pan and accessories), experienced guidance is by your side at all times, and work is done with minimal impact. You can keep what you find.

Who it's for: Curious folks with no prior experience, families, friends, and teams who want to experience nature and take something tangible with them. You set the pace and depth; we ensure safety and clarity.

Good to know: The exact meeting point will be provided after booking. We recommend weatherproof clothing, sturdy shoes or rubber boots, a drink, and a small snack. Finding gold is a matter of luck, but we increase your chances with good technique and a trained eye.
