Hello everyone. I've not made any announcement posts for member milestones for awhile because i was waiting for us to tick over to 10,000 members which we just did. i decided a few months ago i wanted to do some sort of event of celebration and i decided that something i could do was to open a discord server for the subreddit. i hope everyone enjoys! https://discord.gg/GaxKwkRjNn

Possibly last overnight trip of the season

Thumbnail gallery
59 Upvotes

Long story short, nights are getting colder which means working in knee deep - waist deep holes probably wont be fun. Sadly likely last trip of the season but had a great last push

Photos : Day 1 pan total - roughly .14 of a gram
Photos : Day 2 Pan total - Roughly .36 of a gram
Total from trip - half a gram - Approx 11 hours of panning

3rd photo - All my gold so far in 2 seasons 1.34 grams 85% of it coming from this season

Learned a lot from my first season - Worth to travel if you got the good spots generally I will do 3 hour drives overnight camp trips to my new favorite spot and spent to much time in my first season panning for fly poops.

The goal - Roughly 5-6 grams - make my wife a nice ring , she wants to upgrade the diamond in her engagement ring and rather sell it back I'm gonna use that beautiful diamond in her ring that is going to be forged for her from the earth!

Happy Panning!

Question Paydirt question

Has anyone ever purchased paydirt from www.yahoolagold.com ? They claim to have guaranteed gold, just wonder if anyone has purchased any and are they trustworthy.

New to Panning!

5 Upvotes

I’m new to gold panning, just bought a starter to kit and looking to have a new hobby. I’m content with just finding a couple flakes here and there.

Was coming to get tips on anything that I can use in my panning adventures! I’m located in northern Nevada so I figured that this would be a fun area to do this hobby. If anyone has any tips for starters, or related to this area and how they found success, that would be more than appreciated!

Thank you!!!

Looking for California desert gold miners ⛏️

I’m a filmmaker/creator looking to document what it’s actually like to mine for gold in the California desert.
If you regularly prospect or mine out there and wouldn’t mind having me tag along for a day or two, I’d love to join, learn, and document the experience for a YouTube video.
I’m respectful of your land, time, and process — just looking for a genuine adventure and a good story.
Feel free to comment or DM me if you’re interested.
