I just ordered----

[FarmerChick]

a deluxe Garret Gold Panning Kit for 2



yup. Barb said her FIL mentioned there was gold in their back creek in the cow pasture and I remember my FIL mentioning gold prospecting was done in our creek on our land. NC has gold.

So I went and bought 2 pans, classifier, and books/video came with it and I am going to try my streams.

WHY NOT right?

when we get our little swim hole project started at the same time while hubby is working I will do some panning. YOU NEVER KNOW


So, anyone try panning for gold ever? any advice or anything would be appreciated if you ever tried this! I know it is a total crapshoot but I love trying new things like this plus I will bring my detector to go around that weird stone bridge area. Old coins? who knows.

Would mineral rights effect the ownership of any gold found?

 

[FarmerChick]

I have no idea. if it is my land and a stream on my property, wouldn't it just be mine? :bun

eh, won't find any probably

 

[CheerioLounge]

Your deed should state whether or not you own the mineral rights. I do not own mineral rights on my property, but there aren't any minerals of value here at all!

Hopefully a useful link concerning Mineral Rights.

Only time I've ever pan for "gold" was at a tourist trap when the kids were little. But, I seemed to have a knack for it, and was able to fill my vial w/"gold" pretty quickly.

Good luck w/it. It's something I've always wanted to try.

 

[FarmerJamie]

Majorly COOL!!!!

We did the gemstone panning on vacation in NC once, never did the gold panning.

 

[FarmerChick]

well if I even find one flake, I won't be telling anyone

what I find will be mine believe me



I love my metal detecting...but I always wanted to try panning in that stream. well, when I get my pan off I go. let ya'll know if I find anything other than rocks

come on PAYDIRT PAYDIRT PAYDIRT PAYDIRT lol

 

[Wannabefree]

Sweet! I have always wanted to do something like that. I like metal detecting too...especially here on this property. LOTS of stuff to find here since it is a very old homestead area DD found a mini ball from the civil war washed up under the clothesline one day several summers ago Panning for gold...sounds like a blast! Have fun with it!!

 

[the funny farm6]

My husband has always wanted to go out west and try.

Good luck!!
