Question

Read these paragraphs from "There's Still Gold in Those Hills."

Unless a gold seeker spies a nugget in the pan (what luck!), he needs to add more water to the mix. He swishes the material in the pan in a slow, circular movement. The pan is tilted slightly so that the lightweight sand slips over the edge. Water is added as needed, and the process is repeated.

Soon, only a small part of the pan will be covered with concentrated material of what appears to be black sand. The swishing motion will spread the sand out in a feather pattern. The bits of material at the tail end of the feather are called tailings. This is where the gold bits can be found.

What is the central idea of these paragraphs?
