I've panned a bit in the Peace River.
I learned it from the outfitter I worked for, we used to set our hunters up for the evening hunt and then pan for gold until last light when we would pick up our hunters.
I got a few flakes but they were so small I had to use a powerful magnifying glass to see them. My boss had about half an ounce he had panned along the Peace. He told me that was his take from thirty years of panning.
On neighbour had a power sluice, He did quiet a bit of work with it along the Peace but eventually move his operation to BC. He claimed he couldn't even make expenses along the Peace.
I have not tried panning anywhere else.
