New to gold panning

[YoungBlood]

Iv been a member of this site for awhile and have collected antiques for a long time. I don't know why but I thought I might try gold panning in my area even know I can barely handle my current hobby. I haven't decided if I am going to try gold panning yet but does anyone have any tips in case I do.

Do you remember how much it cost?

Awesome, because even if I could buy one off the internet it cost $60-80.

The cheap one goes for about $35 the full kit with dvd and coupon was something like $69

 

[AlwaysBusyJ]

Hmm, I know I've seen the kit at Cabelas, but checking online it looks like all they have is Eastwing and GPAA pans sold individually.

The 'did' have two kits from garrett one with sniffles on the front and the bigger kit. I bought both of 'em. The also had a kit with red pans, fisher kits I think.

Is the cheap one just a pan?

 

[KevinInColorado]

A good 14 inch Proline pan is only $12 retail. Anything more you pay better be for something else worth having!

Yea but how much for two pans plus everything else?

Amazon.com for your best deals on pans. I own several. We have a local dealer but he is a paranoid fella and I have to order all my prospecting stuff online. Your gonna want a 15" garret super sluice, hands down one bad pan. You'll want a 14", and a 10" pan, with a classifier. You'll need a jeweler loupe, a sniffer bottle, and a few collection vials. A small sluice to clean up your dirt so your just working concentrates, but not needed. You can most likely make classifiers from more than a few kitchen items you can buy at the dollar store. The idea is to make money with this hobby, not spend it. I can tell you I am the world worse prospector, and the guy selling the shovels is the only one getting rich. Good Luck.
