Spent a good portion of the day test panning different waterways we frequent. Did find some gold, .......that is so ultra fine, its almost hard to see without the sunlight just right. Seems to be just about anywhere. Not sure how to seperate it from the magnetic black sand stuff yet? Actually not sure if we'll even mess with trying, .......unless we can find how to concentrate it all together I guess.

Did find a few specks that were obviously heavier than black sand in the pans, which was very neat, considering the area, and one speck that the camera could actually pick up (using a slight magnifier!). Basically had to get out and try it!

Looks pretty nifty when magnified!











.... not so nifty , when not magnified and seen in real size (the tiny speck on the black tape!)....but I'll take it!

Good looking gold there, 6 more years and you might have a gram...lol :headbang: :headbang:
 

WTG on the gold. Had my pans for years just never get chance to use them. Have a couple spots near lake that I am going to check this year. HH.
