I retired in 2014, I started panning in North Georgia 2 years ago, have about 50 days total panning time (no sluice in Georgia) and I find only small gold in so many creeks, total 2 grams and only 5 pickers.
I think I want to go out west for some prospecting adventure for a couple weeks. Where could I best utilize my equipment. I have small toyhauler camper, a side by side, generator, 12 x 36 inch dream mat sluice and the other basic stuff pans, classifiers, buckets, tubs etc. I am open to getting a small, maybe 2" dredge but not going all out until discovery warrants more investment. Are there locations where my side by side could access some more promising areas than prospector on foot or better left at home (central Florida) ? Or would a kayak be more beneficial, a kayak seems like a one way trip though- down stream only.
