Equipment checklist.

[vasquez109]

As a newcomer. Just wondering what equipment you all have? What is basic core equipment and what are optional extras.

I currently have: Not very good metal detector, Small powerful neodymium magnet, Large gold pan, small gold pan, trowel, garden sieve and a small bucket. I very quickly established that after a visit to my local river (no gold in it, but using it to practice getting down to the black sand) that I needed wellies!

So need to add wellies to the basic kit! After seeing YouTube videos, I saw people using varying size/grades of classifiers, crevice scraper thing and snuffer bottles etc.

Havent got into sluices and expert equipment yet. What kit should I be looking to get?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

David.

Zip lock freezer bag, gallon size works me, one river I mine I pull out at least 5lbs of black sand and garnets with the gold, typical weather panning, sluicing or highbanking.
