what was the stupidest thing you did when you first started?

when I first started I literally used a popcorn bowl as a gold pan filled it with piedmont clay I found in a creek and
swished it around slowly letting the material out and in the bottom there was mica witch I thought was gold

later my dad took me to the crisson gold mine and bought me a bag of cons and I learned the actual way to pan

But what was the stupidest thing you guys did?

Just remembered 2 more stupid things - 1. For about 3 seasons, wore a 2 pennyweight nugget on a gold chain everywhere to look like a big-shot. Until one
day after exploring a rugged gulch drainage, I reached up and discovered it was flat gone. 2. I put a half oz. gold in the front pocket of my old camp jeans to take into town for selling - when I got to the gold buyers, I reached for the vial - you guessed it !
