2 Replies and 3092 Views Newby in CA - Permits?  3092  2 Started by  cmow2006@yahoo.com Howdy, I signed my son and I up with GPAA mainly because he has some interest in doing some gold panning. I think it would be fun and a great opportunity to do something together and get him away from the stinking computer and video games! One question I have is, in California do you need some kind of permit to just go out and do some panning/prospecting   Thanks

9 Replies and 7499 Views Garrett Product Complaint  7499  9 Started by  crashcrain@gmail.com Recently I purchased two Garrett products I could care not to use again. First was a small aluminum sluice box with slits cut into the aluminum instead of real riffles and miners moss underneath.
