A few miles from the pipeline we arrived at the El Dorado Gold Mine.

We were treated to a small scale railroad tour of an old mining camp setup.

They showed us how panning for gold was done.
-
We were all given gold ore dirt and we panned for our gold.
-
After panning we had our 'gold flakes' weighed and valued.
-
Around 5:45 PM we left the El Dorado Gold Mine back towards Fairbanks.
