Finish pan preferences? 35226 7
Started by duluthian25.zapp@gmail.com
I know practice makes perfect when it comes to panning. I am curious what pans you all prefer for finish panning (removing all black sands). Eventually I would like to get a spiral wheel to help but am looking for something to put in the backpack. Let me know what you think

looking for prospectors 1529 4
Started by brandon.n.barton92@gmail.com
Looking for fellow prospectors in my area (Humboldt, Trinity and Siskiyou counties). Go out alone a lot to the claims in those areas and after a few encounters with bears it would be nice to have another set of eyes lol. Even if schedules can not line up to go as a group then it would be cool just to meet like minded people who have that gold fever. bnb.prospectinggmail.com instagram: doctorofdevils

Gold Claw gold pan 11411 7
Started by duluthian25.zapp@gmail.com
Does anybody have any information about the Gold Claw gold pan
Looks interesting and simple. The videos I have seen look like it works great and fast. Not sure if the videos are staged a little bit.
Anybody have one or have first hand experience with one Can it be used effectively for dry panning
Very curious.

Arkansas Group Colorado 17970 8
Started by jennielovescars@gmail.com
Hey ya'll. I wanted to know if anyone has ever been to the Arkansas Group in Colorado and if there is any gold and/or anything I should know about the claims or area. I will be visiting around late June and just wanted to see if this claim was worth poking around or not. This group is the only one I'm going to be near and I have never prospected in Colorado before so this will be a fun new adventure!

Panning Banned in SD for 2019? 1015 1
Started by Upnort
Heard from a disreputable source that even panning has been disallowed in the Black Hills due to a tree disease. No soil turning what so ever, exception would metal detecting. Planning to head to the Husker claim next month and need to confirm that panning is still allowed there. Read somewhere on this forum last year that 12v high bankers where allowed in the Black Hills, at least most places. Is that still true Thanks, couldn't find a specific subcategory to place this post. Byron

Anyone else using the Gold Hog Flowpan? Tips? Tricks? 6558 1
Started by wa7nxi@yahoo.com
Been using the flow pan for a couple months now, it works really nice and is a great upgrade from my grizzly pan & nugget bucket I was previously using. It certainly moves a lot of material and no classifying is really nice. I visited several claims in AZ and CO with it last month (July '18) and had pretty good luck with it. In the dry AZ desert I used a flat rubbermaid storage tray that is about 2'x3' and 6 inches high or so and filled it with a few gallons of water and made my own portable...

Pans!
by charlotte49er on Apr.18, 2013, under Gold Prospecting
I don’t know how many times people have come up to me and said, “All you really need is a pan to find gold.” Technically that’s true. All you really need to find gold is a pan. At some time, even with machinery, you will probably pick up a gold pan. Maybe not at the start, but more than likely at the end.
However, gold is a numbers game. The more dirt you process, the more gold you will fin...

Pyramid Pro Pan 24183 15
Started by prospectorjack
If anyone is considering to buy the Pyramid Pro Pan do it. I know it seems to be a little pricey but let me tell you that it is worth it. I bought one last year and I have found it to be a necessary piece of equipment that I am glad to have in my arsenal of prospecting equipment. For processing material I can just about keep up with a sluice box. For catching gold, it catches the finest of gold, I would have to say that it loses none from what I can tell. It is easy to use. It is great for areas...

Panning Paydirt with Iron Gravel 15635 9
Started by dmcelyea@gmail.com
I have a lot of dirt to pan and have classified it twice, I still have little pieces of iron in the black sand and it is making this very hard to pan. I have two more classifiers but don't know how small I can take it down to get these iron pieces out of there. This ground was just loaded with small gravel size iron. I bought one of those 5 different size classifiers that set on the bucket. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Specific Gravity 8884 1
Started by rockkingron@gmail.com
So what is the true specific gravity of gold, is it really 19.3 times heavier than water The answer is yes and no depending on what type or kind of gold we are talking about. For you see pure gold that is 99.9 fine is 19.3 times heavier than water and native gold ( unrefined ) with impurities on average runs 17.5 times heavier than water. Just thought some of you might like to be confused with a fact so often overlooked. Ron
