Here's the results of my first foray into panning. I've been acquiring the tools to hit the river and try my luck but decided to get some pay dirt online. Sat out on the patio tonight and what do you know...my first color. Now I'm chomping at the bit to go out and try for color in it's natural setting.

(I think I'm coming down with a fever.)

Campngolf It always happens that way. Fever. There's only two cures for it, more gold or more cowbell.......

Welcome to the passion driven by fever.

If you stick to it you'll have many years of adventure and enjoyment, and if you get serious, you'll have some sore muscles too.

All the best,

Lanny
