My buddy Mark invited me to go gold panning with him on Monday. It was my maiden voyage out with my gold pan and I'm thankful that he took the time to take me with him and be patient enough to teach how to do it as well.
The flooding has really torn up the creeks/rivers here, so it took us a decent while before we found a spot that was producing more than 1 or 2 flakes / pan. While we were searching I was finding lots of geodes as well. I plucked up a couple and brought them home. I could have easily brought home 50+, but to carry them up that giant hill would have been brutal. And then I would have a huge pile of rocks in my apartment. Not cool, haha.
As you can see, I won't be getting rich off of my gold, but it was nice to be able to get out and find some fairly close to where I live.
