I FINALLY FOUND IT!

[Adventure-Seeker]

Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to prospect. Now at 30 years old I've finally been able to do a little panning. Found my first picker last night here in Ohio. I watched hours and hours of YouTube videos and I kept asking myself if I'd be able to do this. I wondered if I would even be able to recognize the gold if I saw it. Well I found it. Got my first picker. So excited. Felt awesome seeing that gold pop out of that black sand.

Yea ohio is not renowned for big gold. Can't wait to get back out west.

Well that is a start. Gold is gold. And since you are still a kid,you should have plenty more chances to scrape up more.

I remember my first picker quite well, too! Nothing like seeing that sucker in the bottom of the pan. Congrats on a life experience that you'll hold onto forever! That's worth more than the gold value, any day of the week.

Yeah ! It is addicting to see that color when you get down to the black sand . I grew up in Montana and did some panning
around Helena .

I always wanted to give it a try. I live in Cincinnati Ohio and I was told the gold is farther north from me.
