Welcome Brian and Steven, Question 1 Your family, friends, curious friends can all participate under your card. Friends I believe are limited to panning only if I remember correctly Question 2 Hopfully you all leave with some color and want to go back and do it again Question 3 Depending on the area of your activities, there can be different rules of the land You dont say where your located, general idea would help with info in California, we can no longer dredge "legally", or use motorized equipments in water ways Some areas, you arent allowed to introduce dry material to a stream or river Fill in your holes within reason Question 4 Short of a ten wheeler dump truck, take what you can carry You will find over time and experience to classify your cons to take home, unless your into carrying heavy buckets to the truck Again, all areas have their rules, just like fishing, you learn the rules, in mining they can be kinda loose within reason Lots to learn, dont worry you will over time In stream activities include slicing, panning, digging, swimming, splashing you get the idea Get out there and do it, it's "fun" when your back hurts Bill
