The most people gold panning simultaneously is 375 and was achieved by City of Cottage Grove (USA), in Oregon, USA, on 13 September 2025.

Each participant was provided with a 10-inch pan, a pipette, and a bag of concentrate, and as they worked, nuggets of gold were recorded. Importantly, the attempt welcomed participants of all ages — from children as young as two and three years old to senior citizens — making it a vibrant, multigenerational celebration of community spirit.

  • Support: Bohemia Gold Museum
  • Community Impact: The record reinforced the importance of Cottage Grove’s mining roots as part of its modern identity, bringing together multiple generations to celebrate both the past and the future of the community.
