Note: We were learning how to pan for gold here from some Paydirt that had gold in it..... we never found any in the actual River although there is supposed to be some there.

Hell ya! That's one heavy lookin' pan. lol. Do you usually just pan or do you ever use a sluice?

Usually Just a pan although my son and I built a home made sluice from a flexible downspout extension .... the accordian ridges are perfect riffles to catch the gold. We are always testing stuff with Paydirt from Goldbay since there is not much gold if any at all in the rivers here in Eastern Ontario. We need to head out west.

I guess I should add the note that we were learning to pan here from some pay dirt that had gold in it ...

Wow!! I would stay there forever if the Pans are that good!

Well .... we were learning to pan here with some Paydirt that had had gold in it. We never found any in the River.

Still fun to do and learn! We used to do that when visiting a Place up north of B.C called Barkerville we always got a little bit of flakes of gold lol!

Have to head out to BC and Alberta to find gold in the Rivers. ... I hear the Tulameen is a good spot. Has Gold and Platinum.

Not sure, my son used to like to go gold panning in the river.
