Popular Post sjmpainter Posted May 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2016 One of my favorite types of prospecting is sluice and panning. No loud motors, no beeping and buzzing detectors just the sound of the river and nature in general. Anyway, thought I would post some pictures. Not a real big haul, but for the six - three gallon buckets I ran - I am happy. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Looks like fun... Quiet is a great thing in this cacophony we are living in...one of the best things about australia was the almost complete lack of mechanical noise... fred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could pull in just a 5th of an ounce a day working 5 days that would be more money than I make working the job I am doing right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjmpainter Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Funny how the gold always looks bigger in the sluice than in the pan. I did find the location with the new Makro Gold Racer, picked up three flakes maybe 1/10 gram. So small that I had to scoop the dirt and pan it to retrieve the gold. Pin pointer is in the shop wore a hole rite thru it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
