It is a fairly common "touristy" thing to do... go up to the "Gold Country" around Sacramento and they have some "camps" where you can pan for gold.
You're right some 49er player, at some point, had to try it at some point in 75 years.
Curiously, I came across a photo of 3/4 of the 49ers backfield panning back in the early '50s (1950s, not 1850s). I believe this is why they were called the Million Dollar Backfield.
