Lost Gold Pan

[MadMarshall]

Well my Gold Pan has finally moved on. How exactly it moved on or even where is beyond me? I had it next to me and was beating on some rock and went to grab my pan and it was gone.. I suspected the wind may have blew it in the water and still am of that mind. But on the other hand I spent an unreasonable amount of time looking in the river covering almost a mile stretch downriver.. No luck.. I have had that pan for a few years Oh well.. Anyway I am headed out here in a bit been getting into the underwater prospecting quite a bit.. Not only is it nice being in the river all the time on these hot days but I am also figuring it out. Actual looking for Pay areas underwater is difficult as their is a many factors working against you.. Water depth.. no bedrock ..no gold and many other issues. But on the other hand I have used it to further exploit my old known pay areas where I was stopped by water.. This has proven to be great. Anyway I hope everyone had a great Fourth and is getting some decent gold..

Awesome!

In California?

We don't have clear water on the east coast.

The gold gods have struck yet again. Pagan sacrafices mandatory to appease them so you can find some righteous oro puro. A nice underwater detector increases your take 1000% easily-John

well I found it yesterday. sunk down about 15' and behind a humumgous boulder.. Makes me happy.. I have a few other pans about but it just ain't the same.. Heck even after I fished it out again it still had fly poop stuck in the fracture in the bottom of the pan.. Well anyway had to make a quick trip back this afternoon and actually headed back here in a hour or so a nice evening/midnight walk. Anyway stuff is on the up and up here getting some nice pickers and my average kicked up a bit which is always a good thing. hope all is well your way

For most this is the best pan they would ever see, but for Mad Marshall, just another day at the river and perhaps okay gold..
