@@VoGusProspecting One hour ? Unless you live right there I'm assuming there was travel time there and back, time working the site, plus fuel cost, plus equipment cost. At today's gold price of $1305.00/oz. you made roughly $23.00. Don't get me wrong, it looks like an enjoyable way to get outdoors. Just not a very profitable one. But more power to ya

[@aussieguy3689]

@@thomvogan3397 at $23 per hour its still more money then the average wage ,if you did that as a 48 hour a week job it works out to be $1104 thats pretty good money whats wrong with that ? That is good money

I am a retired Air Force disabled veterean. Lately I have been diagnosed with PTSD. I use panning along with medication for theraphy for treating my PTSD. After watching every video from Vo-Gus, I have tripled the amount of gold I have been finding. Biggest difference is test panning now, before I start digging in one spot. Thanks for all your wisdom and keep with all your great videos. Jeffrey Kelley

[@kristophergossett8753]

@@JohnSmith-om9rd best wishes. The way I got started was by looking up a local hobbie store. Look for your local Garrett metal detector dealer. Garretts page will assist you with this. This gave me a local association along with getting my basic tools. Best wishes buddy

[@JohnSmith-om9rd]

@@kristophergossett8753 thanks, I live in Florida but want to go do this somewhere with gold. So I am thinking a week or two camping would be fun. Unfortunately for me I have to go somewhere other than my backyard. So any advice on places would be much obliged.

[@rickseifert5139]

Work all area behind the rock bar and funnelled area then work towards the banks. Dig down till you hit rock floor or clay layer. In dry season clean out creek or work area completely, including cleaning out the crevices, then process. I've cleaned out many small creeks over the years in far north Queensland and had lots of success with gold, tin, gemstones. I use home-made sluice box in a kit form for easy carry or a "Banjo" type sluice box set up once on a good run that's long term working. Any old timers reading this will know of a " Banjo " type sluice box set up. Best way to remove ironstone from pan is with magnet from underneath before you fully concentrate your fines or use magnet in old film cannister gently gliding over top of fines in pan. Hope this little trick helps those who read the comments. Cheers from an old fart now in WA still, digging gold.

Thanks for the simple speak. I’ve had the habit of not testing enough/properly. And it frustrated me every time! “Good pan on the first go! I’ll keep working this section.” 3 pans later... “Where’d all the gold go?” 🤔 Yes, the hills are starting the thaw right now here in Canada. Creeks are slow enough to do some preflooding work and then in a few months will be low again for flood gold/flour. Thanks for the contributions!
