I just have to add a bit of glitter. Yes boys, I am glittering up the boys' club! Ha! No, I am not some crazy feminist trying to make some kind of a statement...lol I just like gold, glitter, and wandering through creeks and muck. Christmas season has already started for me. I have a lot of work to do between now and Thanksgiving.

This is the gold panning Christmas ornament I'm working on. Bought the 4" pan from Cabela's on Friday, drilled a hole near the edge and loaded it up with "nuggets"

Are those "found" nuggets or "bought"? ...Just curious.

 

[HobbyHuntress]

They are painted rocks. pretty realistic looking, huh?

Don't give up on the real stuff. I'm trying to pan enough gold to make a pendant to honor my only child (daughter) who passed. There is nothing like seeing that real gold hidden in that black sand. Georgia gold is what I get now simply because I live here.

Sorry to hear of your loss!

Definitely not giving up. So sorry for your loss. I bet the pendant will be beautiful!

How did the paydirt that came with it pan out? 3 flakes or did you get lucky with the $50 nugget?

3 flakes and a sweet glass vial! I like the sound gold makes in the glass when you shake it. lol

Thanks! Have you checked out Allatoona Gold Panners? Search FB for the group - I think they do outings once a month. I haven't been on one yet, I just joined less than a month ago

No, sir, you are a lunatic for not wanting one for your tree

I grew up with a male cousins and I was a boxing trainer for a bunch of boys and "adult" men. I made men cry on a daily basis. You don't phase me one bit. lol My skin is thicker than most - heck, even my close friends ask my husband "you know you married a boy, right?" even though I am all female - always have been, always will be. I just have a lot of non-girly hobbies. My woodshop puts home depot to shame. I own more tools than every man I know combined, and I can use them, and no, they are not pink, but my miter saw table is!

Oh...you're talking about you. I thought you were talking about me. Most men are afraid of me, as they should be. My dad taught me to to dig the hole first, and I have a 6 ft hole in my backyard.

I do need a lot of fertilizer

Your onto something good there HH, Last Christmas I searched all over the web and many stores in CA gold country and couldn't find anything like this and was shocked that no one makes anything like this, someone could make some $ selling these im sure!. My daughter overheard me me talking about it and took it upon herself to make me one for Christmas and it was the best gift I got!

She even used some of her real gold she panned out on one of our trips out together, what a sweetheart!
