Let's start a thread here about gold prospecting. Talk about your equipment setup. Brag about your finds. Give hints on techniques.
My interest is panning in a creek. I know there is sluice boxes and powered dredges. Let's hit them all.
My property has ~300' of creek going through it. And part of the ad claimed "there's gold in the creek". So did the ad for a neighboring property.
I'm completely new to this. I can't easily get power down to it(300'+). Carrying heavy equipment would be a challenge. Thus my interest in pans.
Anyone have any good info/tutorials for panning? Or classes around Placerville, Auburn, etc?
Here is my target creek:
