that does help, slightly, but im actually more interested in someone that isnt in this hobby for the money......i would be willing to pay but i would much rather tag along with someone who actually does it for the enjoyment not a buck. i dont want to go to one of the "cookie cutter" gold panning tourist traps, i find some nice stuff here in mi through lots of research and time in the field and im sure it would be a joke if i did panning in salted pans.

I am probably too late for your answer, but anyhow... here is a wonderful book that is easy to follow on Gem Trails of Arizona

I used it recently in Dudleyville, AZ, and i found heulandite right were it said it was...pretty cool!
