Duckys Thread - Georgia Panning and Prospecting.

[KevinInColorado]

Judging by the water flow at the creek I've been working (seen in my YouTube videos) I think I could move more material in a super sluice pan than my small AM sluice. Think it would be worth the money for the pan?

yup if you shop around and get a deal, I'd say go for it!

Ducky do you have any of that punch plate left? How's your little sluice doing?

The punch plate is all used up. Sent some out to some other TNet members. There will be more that will come along but no telling when. Whenever the company buys more server racks and decides to scrap them.

The am sluice is working well after I dug out some of the excess plastic in the riffles. It just doesn't move a lot of material which is why I'm looking at the garret super sluice pan

Ducky, glad to hear that your dad is doing better. Sucks that we
only get to keep them for so long, so fwiw spend every bit of
time you can with them.

I've also got a Super Sluice, and as said it's a real pig of a pan.
I use it to get rid of all the blond material when I'm out sampling
areas of beach sand, and then bring the black sand only home
to process further.

Trick with it is to work it underwater, and let the buoyancy of
the pan in the water do a lot of the "holding up" work. Using it
right you can really work through a bucket of material in a short
time, saving the heavies to another container. It stinks as a finishing
pan, however...the way the bottom is designed I just can't get the
water to move right.

No prob Ducky!

Super glad to know your dad is home and doing better too!

At the crisson gold mine you just buy crushed quartz sands to go through no creek or anything

 

[Duckwalk]

I see is there creek access anywhere in dahlonega that you know of kiddo? Also, is that the only panning material they have?

sort of
in Dahlonega no,in Georgia yes
heres the website for a place called gold n gems, theres gold here but the creek has been fairly heavily worked
on the other hand they stack paydirt from the commercial mine they run there(largest in Georgia as of now)
it is NOT much for gold, but it has beautiful gemstones

On the way home from a wonderful day in dahlonega. We went to the crisson mine and bought a 5gallon bucket and 2 of the $45 cons. Will post pics of the cleaned up gold tomorrow most likely. Good haul, although most certainly did not get our money back. It was fun teaching my mom and the rest of my family how to pan. Went to the smith house for dinner. If you don't know what it is, google it! A must eat place if you visit. At the general store I purchased a MONSTER of a metal gold pan. I was going to buy a super sluice but no one had them in stock around here. Looking forward to jawing it. A great $10 investment. Pics to come! Here's the pan. That's a nickel in the center.

so you got 2.5 grams(ish) maybe my scale isn't working because I think I have that much

 

[Duckwalk]

Now all for the year is that 1.4 I added my yearly to what I got today.

 

[strickman]

join w.e.g.m. , 20 a month and plenty of river /creek access. 2 properties . one near auroria and one across from gold and gem.

My daughter had a blast as well. We call it a daddy daughter date day. Here she is looking for gemstones and l enjoying the tractor ride.

 

[Sideways Sherry]

She is precious Ducky!
