<>The North Bend Prospectors, Inc., conducts Gold Panning Demonstrations for interested groups on the Oregon Coast, area. To give our demos that extra flair, we like to dress up in period clothing--any period from around 1800 to the present, that is! You see, every decade has had its own gold prospectors!

At our panning demos you might see one of us in contemporary hip-waders, another in bib-overalls, and yet another as a sheriff about to give up his badge to head for the gold fields. And some of us hark back a few years in our costumes to the 1800s.

We have here a few good solid informational links for our panning demonstrators. Good info for reenactors, too!

• Clothing of the 1830s   Every sewing stitch had to be done by hand.
• Costume of the Gold Rush   Entrepenuers marketed clothing, hats, and boots to outfit men for the gold fields.
• How Should a Woman Dress?   A nifty look at women's period costume.
• How To Be a Pistolero   Nearly all you'll ever need to know about being a reenactor!
• How to Select an Old West Outfit   Serves as a general guide for anyone who wants to assemble a Western getup.
• Past Patterns   Hundreds of patterns to make your own costumes ranging from 1789 through the 1940s.
• Suggested Wardrobe and Equipment   The choices of 1880s clothing and style define your character in an instant.
• San Francisco and the 1849 Gold Rush (thanks to the class of Ms.Christina Nill in Colorado for this link)
