Very little gold, unless you count the gold coins and lost gold rings that are not uncommonly found on many of Florida's beaches.
You might have better luck panning in Geogia (NW of Atlanta), but probably not worth the effort to pan in Florida. (At least, not for gold.)

If I'm wrong about that, someone please correct me.

No.

The whole Florida peninsula is an ancient coral reef. No natural gold. Go north young man

This is absolutely correct; go to Georgia, Alabama or South Carolina.

Why would you PAN for gold in Florida, when you can detect for gold on the beach?

Metal detect the beaches and swimming holes.

Edit: yea what they^ said:sly:

No natural gold in Florida other than gold lost when Treasure ships sank. There must have been some gold nuggets on the treasure ships that sank whether as cargo or smuggling by crew members as I know a few nuggets have been found on the beaches over the years..
