panning

I've been collecting rocks for about a year now and it's been a painstaking process crushing the Quartz especially (I didn't know it was dangerous to breath the dust and crushed Quartz for 2 months without a Mask). I just recently started panning and I've got a little vial of flakes, but now...

Hi I'm new to the site and to treasure hunting. Me and my buddy were looking around for some abandoned mines to sort through the rocks they cleared out , as well as to look for gems and maybe pan over the summer/spring break when classes don't get in the way. We were primarily looking in north...

Hey all! I just got some gold bearing paydirt and I panned it out and got some sweet gold. I know paydirt is not an investment but it is worth the loss in fun had. Please let me know how I can improve my panning technique or what other equipment I should get my hands on. Thank you! My panning...

Hi! This is my first post on Treasurenet. I recently moved to Meriwether County, Georgia. There is a fairly large creek on the property. I have found a SMALL amount of very fine gold here in the creek. My question is about the other heavy metals I find, especially on the bank. If I am finding...

New video of me gold prospecting

Hello everyone! My name is Mason, and I'm excited to be apart of this forum. I just started gold panning/prospecting the tail end of last season. Looking to use this forum as a learning resource, and to possibly meet new prospectors in my local area. Thanks, and I will see you out there.

Check out our latest YouTube video. We had a bunch of guys from the club out on Monday exploring our bedrock claim. We brought our kids and had a blast at the claim.

Hello everyone, I just recently became interested in prospecting. I don't want to spend the money on a sluice box or highbanker yet because I'm a beginner and I don't want to put a lot of money into something I haven't had much experience with. So I was wondering if anyone knew of some good...

My dad wants to do some (mainly) panning for placer gold and possibly light dredging/sluicing. He's 84, but he's in unbelievable shape for his age. He doesn't know much about the internet however. What he DOES know though is that it's a lot easier to get info online than to write to sources of...

Hey guys I wanted to start some discussion about panning techniques for people that have just learned to pan and want to take it to the next level. For me, I am finally able to pan down to black sand consistently, but I feel like I'm missing important details and thus losing gold. For...

Hello, Im new to the panning scene. A few friends and myself are going to Michigan's upper peninsula this spring to do some panning. We also have a few sluice boxes. My question is about the rivers we plan to visit. If a stream is a protected trout stream can you not pan? We plan to try yellow...

We all face aging in different ways. And planning just in case is good. This past week out panning with family I fell on rocks. Big deal except I could not get back up. Actually endangered daughter and SIN attempts to fift my 225# self. Of course I expected "one day" to face that life changing...

Hi everyone. I am relatively new to Gold prospecting. I Recently took a trip to Arizona, tried gold panning and got hooked. I went out to some state land here in Michigan and didn't think that I'd find anything at all panning this little creek. (I'm not even sure I'd call it a creek it is a...
