How many of you guys and gals have tried your hand at panning for gold or even sluices? Thinking of putting up another forum for the gold panners...

I was in GPAA gold club for about 20 years. I love to dredge, and sluice. I still have about 5oz of gold i have dredged. All the gold here is small but alot of it.

Hey @Guvner .
I’ve never actually done it myself, but I think it would be a great addition to the forums.
As a child, I often dreamed of panning for gold, though there aren't any great prospecting areas around here.
Still, I’m toying with the idea of having some "paydirt" delivered and giving it a try after all.
I would welcome it if you set up a prospecting forum.
Thanks in advance.

Vito,
I've enjoyed paydirt in the past.
Paned and sluiced here in Ohio.
Not much to show for the labor.
Though it was fun seeing the gold.
Paydirt at today's prices I'm not sure.
Here's some of the best today.
Be certain to CK reviews.
You never break even.
Though some can be close.
And pan over a pan.
You'll never get it all the first time.
Especially if it's fines.
Have fun and good luck.

I do both guvner. Currently in Wyoming doing some testing on my dry sluice. Thanks for asking. I think a panning/sluicing/etc forum would be a good addition.

Vido, I prospect in Ohio, I live in Ky. If you live in Ohio there is alot of glacier gold in small creeks. How far do you live from Columbus Ohio? I lived there for about 30 years, and when i retired i moved to Kentucky. I might be going back to Columbus before long. I can show you some nice gold up there. flintstone

Yes Guvner,
I would love to see a panning page.

One thing about buying pay dirt, you need to know where it comes from. The gold in Ohio is 22 to 23% pure, some places it is only 17 to 18% gold, it is mixed with iron in the ground or other metal that is in the ground. Just like metal detecting if you live with a lot of iron in the ground, you got to trun down your detector.
