[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 676223, member: 15464"] Hi, You have been given some excellent leads, all of which I endorse. I would, however, offer an extra piece of advice. Sometimes gold will be found in clay or in heavy black sand and it would be a very skillful, or lucky panner, who could recover every tiny spec in only one panning. When you get into real panning you may find it useful to pan into a recepticle so that you can recover the first lot and then re-pan what you have already worked. Depending on the constituency of the stuff you are working, you may find that it takes several repeats before you have it all. By all means start practicing with small pieces of lead in clean, water-washed gravel but when you get out in the field you won't always find clean, water-washed gravel so be prepared to re-work your material [/QUOTE]
