Gold Panning is a great little add-on to our shard. You need to start by first purchasing a Gold Pan from any Miner.
You then take yourself to the nearest still water (River, Stream, Beach) and double click the pan and target the water.
When you have some nuggets, seek out the Gold Trader and exchange them.
Exchange :-
10 Small Nuggets = 1 Medium Nugget
5 Medium Nuggets = 1 Large Nugget
3 Large Nuggets = 1 Brick
2 Gold Bricks = 1 cheque (check) for 25,000 gold coins
