[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 665759, member: 16174"] Excellent Strategy Oh!Pal - Trying at home first with paydirt to teach yourself the correct panning technique - you will soon see the most efficient way to process a panful and since it is all going back in the bucket for another shot you will know how much gold to expect second and third try and will soon see if you start getting a bit careless & discarding gold . Your approach will really build your confidence so when you are in the creek you will not be thinking - Is it me - am I throwing the gold away or is it that there isnt any in this spot. My only suggestion is to focus on immediately upstream & downstream of rock bars up against their face & also deep cracks in any creek rocks and scrape down to their absolute bottom with a screwdriver or pick point. You are better off spending your time collecting a small amount of paydirt that nature has already concentrated up 1000x than trying to process shovelfull after shovelfull. If you are going to any of the Warwick GPAs over Easter you sure wont be on your own ! [/QUOTE]
