Panning here involves classifying down to incredibly fine. I classify down to what I call no-see-um fine. The finest window screen will work.
You can find gold in the major rivers downstream from where the ancient river beds are crossed. Find old gravel pits and you are closing in.
Best you can hope for is an ounce per couple of tonnes of shovelling. So expect lots of blisters, and lots of on lookers with questions.
