I did a search here but couldnt find anything that was helpful to me. Would it be worth it to pan east of edmonton in the nsr? Is there any gold east of edmonton in the river? im not talking like striking it rich or anything but enough to keep it interesting.
I dont much but I do know that you can pan gold in Goldbar creek. Not much just the odd tiny flake or piece of gold "dust". I did it once a few years back with school. I think about 5 out of 15 people got a tiny speck of gold.
I used to do a lot of gold panning on the NSR. Never struck it rich of course! There is quite a bit of gold flour in the river. The right areas will give you 1/2 dozen flakes in each pan full.
The problem is, allthough there is gold in the sand, the volume you would have to go through to make a bit of money is huge. There are several enviromental concerns that restrict the size of pumps you can use ect.

It is a fun hobby though.
I will give it a try someday. I am going to be trying more towards fort sask. Somewhere between there and vinca bridge.
