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.
