Thermal city is a very good spot to pay to pan i was there a few yrs. back and it was only 5.00 to pan all day at the panning tables I do believe the price has gone up? there is a stream that runs through the property that you can go walking through how far don't know? they have different setups for different likings like panning -- sluicing -- a tremmal machine and even metal detecting the waste plies and there is cabins for rent or sleep in your truck in a paid spot VERY NICE PLACE I WAS THERE ONLY ONCE BUT THE TIME I WAS THERE THE FAMILY HAD A BLAST
