Thanks a lot for your in-depth advices rainwolf, truly appreciate it!
I would also like to apologize for my late answer, this month has been crazy at school. Finally got some holiday spare time! :occasion14:
I've almost decided on buying the Grizzly Explorer, seems like a promising investment...
Thanks again guys, really helpful!
I don't know anyone who could show me panning, but I guess there are some informative YouTube-videos out there I could watch? That Alaskan flair looks good, but seems to be sold out. I think the goldhog sluice will cost me a lot in the total, considering it's...
Thanks, Golden_Crab, truly appreciate your input! Will Goldhog UR mats and Hog moss fit into the Angus Mackirk/Keene or will it require me making my own sluice? Dont think there will be too many nuggets in the area, but surely wouldnt want to miss those few either...
Thanks again!
Thanks for your replies, guys!
I'll buy some paydirt for practice once I have my gear delivered. I'll also make sure to buy one smaller pan for final cleanup.
Could you explain more N-Lionberger? I'm a total noob, so would love some pictures and details of your modifications. Which of the A52 vs...
Thanks again ClaimStake!
I'm assuming either carpet or rubber would be best for my use?
Could you recommend me some brand-specific sluice models? Regarding plastic sluices, I've looked at Le Trap and this one: (about 130$), but wouldn't mind buying a heavier metal sluice if it's considered more...
Thanks for your input, ClaimStake!
I'll make sure to research the area and prospecting in general further.
I'll be stream mining, what are the advantages of a metal sluice vs plastic? I'm also wondering the benefits of standard carpets vs goldhog rubber mats?
What are your thoughts on different...
Alright, so I'm a norwegian student who's contemplating using my summer break prospecting for gold in the woods of Sweden. I've got no experience prospecting, so I'm still in the researching stage of my trip. I'm planing to live in a tent and primarily fish trout/bass for food to live as cheaply...
Thanks for all the welcomes guys, appreciate it! I'll make sure to post more when I discover new objects with some kind of historic value. Winter is coming rapidly, so the season is soon to end, unfortunately.
Feel free to add me as a friend, I love getting to know people from around the world...

Thanks for your welcome, dirtdigginfool! It's indeed a highly historical land, and after reading some of the posts on this forum, I'm appreciating it more and more. Me and my friend are averaging at least one 1700's cobber coin per 6 hour searching fields, and sometimes even more. Last weekend...
Thanks Nashvegas! I'm glad you enjoyed it, what were you doing over here? I've only been to New York, but I'm the proud owner of two Gibson guitars made in Nashville. Quality instruments, for sure!:headbang:
Wow Mudflap, that's awesome! Never been to Svalbard (Spitsbergen) myself, but definitely wouldn't mind going! A gun in polar bear-land is mandatory haha
Hi! :hello:
After lurking around this forum for some time, I finally decided to get registered to this wonderful community. I'm a 21 yo norwegian student living approximately a 1 hour drive from the main capital Oslo. My username "Dovregubben", or "The mountain King" refers to a poem called...
