0 Replies and 2865 Views Keene 190 series drywasher - opinions?  2865  0 Started by  jlocke1970@att.net Hello all, I have my eyes on the new Keene 190 (actually the 192, with the wet conversion kit) drywasher. Before I go drop a pretty penny, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there has any experience with one. I know that one was featured on an episode of Gold Trails......would just appreciate the input of anybody else that may have some hours using one. It sure seems like a pretty sweet piece of equipment! Thanks, Jim

39 Replies and 13443 Views Need a bit of help getting outfitted  13443  39 Started by  challengerdev@gmail.com
(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
Fairly new at this; have a few pans and a small power sluice. Could use your collected wisdom on better outfitting myself. Clothing / waders / shovels & crevicers, all that ancillary stuff. If it has worked for you it will probably work for me, too. What has made your forays better (and maybe profitable) Thanx.

2 Replies and 3151 Views Newby in CA - Permits?  3151  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
