Re: My new/old hobby
Did a little gold panning in Wales many moons ago. I got some tiny bits but not enough to retire on.
Would love to try it again on a stream known for its gold.

Re: My new/old hobby
For gold folks.
I'm a real novice when it comes to panning for gold, and I gotta do something to stay out of trouble.
I have several sources (14) to start with and all have started to produce nearly a gram (.900gms) of 22-24k. :ymparty:
To give you an idea

this is a 10 inch diameter pan

There gold in the Ochil hills just to the north of me, so if TUA ever feels like coming over to the UK, here is a link to some gold panning sites.

Re: My new/old hobby
If I really thought I could find some, I would give it a go. I'm going to have a look when the weather warms up at a couple of sites. too frigging cold to go tramping up there.

Re: My new/old hobby
I bought seven classifiers, of different sizes. They range from, 1/4th, 1/8th, 1/12th, 1/20th, 1/30th, 1/50th, and 1/100th of an inch.
these are examples,

mine are of this type, which fits right over a five gallon bucket.

So after panning my this sample (and removing the gold I've found) that I've been PRACTICING with for a few months now, I find this. The dime is for comparison purposes only.

Re: My new/old hobby
That little lump of gold is $35?! I have a colt .45 1911, that is one of only 500 made by Socom. (Airsoft, only fires 6mm BB's) It says on the box, that is covered in 24k that is worth $30 pmsl puts my gold plating into perspective lol
There comes a point...
Oh and if you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, then you have obviously mis-read the situation
You say Saga? I say Bupa
Mwahahahaha
