In April I'm going to move to Hawaii Island of Oahu and was just wanted to ask the experts if the Hawaii islands would be worth doing any panning for gold. Thanks for the help

In rich folk beaches you find RIGHTEOUS HIGH GRADE JEWELRY. Proved this out many times in the OC years ago. Public Huntington beaches provide ok stuff but hit Laguna or Corona Del Mar and you make out by far better-go for the gold-tons a au 2 u 2 -John
I agree!!!Hoser John said:AAREN--ya got a keeper husband--now THAT'S good as gold-John

As to the volcanics & diamonds etc. Probably the wrong kind of volcanics. Here in NZ the city of Auckland has the most volcanic peaks/cones per square mile in the world & not one quartz reef. And like Hawaii, no valuable minerals associated with it. Across the Firth of Thames from Auckland, wouldnt be 30 miles, is the Coromandel Peninsular where I am, and there is quartz by the zillion & gold, silver etc. Hydrothermal & geothermal deposits from huge volcanics eons ago. Go figure Such is mother nature.
