O.P. I heard that you are a member of the Show me prospectors club. (Russau mentioned this in another post) I am new to T-Net forum. I did my 1st panning back in the 70's when my dad was working in Montana. I made several trips to Colorado in the late 80's & early 90's. Just panning & some trout fishing. I have'nt been out in a long time though. I am hoping to hook up with some one to do some panning in northern Mo. with my son. My uncle has a sheet metal Mfg. company. Thinking of getting w/ him to build a sluice. But they don't cost that much to buy. Any ideas on a good sluice? As far as equipment, I have a couple of the green garrett pans & classifier & some old metal pans. I'll look into getting a new pan too. I am hopiing to get out to the next Show me club meeting. I work on Saturdays & will have to try to change my schedule.

finding quartz is a good start if you find that keep looking and keep a eye out for the bed rock it is in the cracks
