[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 73049, member: 147"] Exactly like you Outback. The first thing i would invest in is a good set of "Hiking Boots", followed closely by a decent gold pan (Super Sluice) and then the biggest mother of a screw driver i can get my hands on. Then when no one is looking i would sneak into the kitchen and pinch a table spoon. Tools of the trade for a Noobie are now sorted. The biggest failure for most prospectors is lack of learning the basics, and many strive to "Run" before they "Walk". Not much use jumping into the more advanced methods such as High-bankers when one doesn't grasp the basics of where the gold trail lays, and then expects dramatic results. Crevicing and in-stream loaming (call it sampling if you want), takes time and effort to master, and many a newcomer takes this task on like a bull at a gate, and misses the little things that form the bigger picture. Learn to use a gold pan well and learn to wear out a set of boots "regularly" and the rewards will follow. Wal. [/QUOTE]
