There are numerous places where beginners can pan for gold in California. However most are well known and a beginner might have problems finding enough gold to make it interesting. Do you happen to know a friend that has a gold claim that he would let you pan on ? The main thing as a beginner you need is to get experience and practice using your gold pan and learning to "read the river" to realize where the best/most likely places would be to prospect for gold. Ask around to see if anyone knows a "spot" they poke around looking for gold at, maybe they can take you there. Keep in mind there is no one "best place." Anywhere you find paying amounts of gold is a good enough place to keep looking for more. You never know, one day you may hit a pocket that someone else missed.

You can pan. You pan by putting dirt into the pan and then putting water in the pan also. Then you swish around the pan and since gold is heavier than water the gold will stay in the bottom of the pan when the dirt washes out.
