My first time Gold Panning yields gold and gold fever for me
Headed out to an area I researched today and tried panning for the first time. Not sure if this is good because now I have to balance metal detecting and gold panning. Thinking of getting the Fisher Gold Bug 2 detector also.

Seeing as how you are in an area that actually yeilds gold, then getting a gold bug is the best thing you can do. It will most likely pay for itself within a couple months. Bring the gold bug to old mining sites and abandoned mine shafts and scan the old tailings they left.
Its mostly about research, but if you figure it out, you have the possibility to never have to work again. Good luck and happy hunting. __________________

Wow dude! I have always wanted to try panning or looking for gold. There is none here in my part of Texas that I know of. I am excited that you found gold. Bust of luck to you on future hunts. Big congrats.

Congrats on finding raw gold. Could you put a coin or other object next to your nuggets so we can get an idea of size? Thanks for sharing with us. Good luck on future hunts or panning expeditions. : )

Does anyone watch Gold Fever on the outdoor channel? The host Tom Massey was panning gold in Lake Michigan on the beach in Chicago.

I was in very NE Iowa. There was a bunch of flour gold which was almost impossible to pick up. These are more like Pickers maybe. Just smaller than a match head.
