In the heart of the Dimonika Biosphere Reserve, gold miners - locals and Westafs alike - dig in the ochre earth with shovels all day in search of a few nuggets to support their families. They then stroke the ground with a metal detector, which beeps to tell them if gold is hiding in the gravel. Most of them will sell their treasure that evening, before going off to quench their thirst in the village bars. The Vigoureux inn organizes walks along the gold panning pits, with the option of witnessing the washing of the gold.
