Went to Sofala for 3 days on the spur of the moment, asked at Sofala Gold when could I do a tour, and was told I had to make a booking for about 2weeks ahead. Back at the campsite talking to a chap he said he does tours and would take me out and show me how to do panning. This was the first time out with all the gear that I had.
We got to the place and it was a great 3hrs and I learnt a lot, I have been watching youtube videos but there is nothing like hands-on.
He had black buckets turned upside in various places with rocks on top where he had panned gold and said this marks his spots so when he comes back the next day his spots are nothing taken by other people he had been there for about 4 weeks.
My question is this a common thing?
I got about 40 pieces of gold and was wrapped. ....... thanks norm
