With my experience in panning for gold I only have one question. Don't you keep any of the smaller pieces? :) Cheers Shaggy

When you say this is all the gold I have got this year & your post is dated 8th january. Does that mean you have found that lot of gold for the first 8 days of this year 2014?? This was my finds for last saturday. 6 bits for 9.2 grams Bigger one was just over 5 grams The weekend before with three nice little quartz specimen bits. A couple of days after new years. 5.11 grams Been a good start to the new year for me. Hope it continues. Did a bit of dredging on an unclaimed creek just prior to new years & got just 2.5 grams so think I will stick to the detecting LOL :) Here is a pic of a piece that I took under water after I had sucked off the gravel And another caught up in a little crevice. 4" suction tip bottom left Total 2.5 grams Happy new year guys Good luck out there JW :) Edited by user Wednesday, 15 January 2014 7:10:43 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
