How do you dig in a pans and hand only area do you dig with your gold pan to get down deeper in the gravel beds. I’m looking for tips on how other people pan these sort of areas. What do you use to help.

Prospecting 2122 16
Started by donland1@aol.com
I'm looking for claim-friendly location(s) to test a new magnetometer system that I developed to map now-buried former stream courses by sensing and mapping black magnetite sand deposits close to stream locations historically known to have produced significant gold. Help with digging these potentially rewarding locations also wanted. My involvement would be totally at my expense. (TopoMag project.)

Be Advised: USGOLDMAPS.COM 3002 18
Started by realbillmccoy@gmail.com
Just a friendly public service announcement regarding usgoldmaps.com They make claims maps for use with Google Earth. The product looks really nice but upon receipt I discovered that their data is static and from 2013. I reached out to the Contact Us email and the response was basically, don't worry about it. Claim data doesn't change very often. Uh... I call BS Asking for a refund. Wish me luck and buyer beware.
