Prospecting Canada BC / Metal detecting for Nuggets Kelowna area

[Horst]

Dear diggers,

with your kind help my wife Kerstin and I had a blast in North California this year.
As my wife's son and family lives in Kelowna, BC. We are planning on visiting them some time next year 2018 - most likely in late summer/autumn.
I heard that there are more rules to pay attention to and so I thought it'd be a good idea to ask you for some help and advice.
I want to use a sluice box, crevicing tools, Pan and a metal detector.
All your kind help is highly appreciated.

You won't be able to use a sluice but there are several places open to the public for panning. It is not legal to use a sluice box in a stream in B.C.

That is what I also understand about the B.C. regulations garnered from reading entries on the GPEX gold prospecting forum. https://www.google.com/search?q=gpex+prospecting&enablesearch=true. An excellent forum with lots of helpful members just as there are here on TNET.

Good luck.

Go to the Detecting forum here in the Gold forums and look for the Bedrock and the Gold topic by Lanny in AB. He is the absolute expert in Canadian mining and a extremely knowledgeable,friendly person. His massive post for years have helped 1,000s looking for gold anywhere and everywhere. His monologues,stories,poems,history and such will make for some enjoyable reading also. Many miners have contributed to all things mining/detecting and should be a great assist in what you seek.
