[QUOTE="LuckyPhil, post: 156213, member: 5106"] Well Managed to get out to Thanes Creek yesterday, for my first time panning. After about 5 or 6 pans I was looking at small pebbles wondering if they were gold, unfortunately they were not. I was wondering what gold looks like in a pan, checking out every grain of sand. I emptied the last dirt out of my bucket into my pan just before lunch and really took my time, swishing nearly all the black sand away and there in front of me was my first piece of gold. All be it a very small piece, I now knew what it looked like in the pan. After lunch I went back to the creek and managed to get a few more very small pieces. I think in the beginning I was not washing all the black sand away in the corner of the pan, so I guess I just wash some away. Anyway it was a learning experience, all the better for next time.
