GB_Amateur Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 My sister ran into a fossiker when out camping who was having an issue with tiny shot while finish panning. He was sucking the shot into his snuffer bottle when trying to collect the gold. Any suggestions? I have a feeling he's not the first person to be annoyed by this.

LipCa Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just use the "tap" method to get all your gold(and shot) to one side of the pan then roll the shot out with your finger. I do it all the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Lead shot, it seems to be the curse of panners and those of us detecting too, got my share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Never had much issue with shot due to it being round. As noted already a little tapping and tilting usually rolls it off to one side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvanwho Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hey, at least it means the gold should be where ur getting the lead at, so keep digging there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
