Default Gold Panning
Has anyone panned for gold before? Since summer is finally upon us in northwest Washington State, I figured it would be fun to hit the rivers and see what I can come up with and enjoy the sun. Any tips or tricks? I did it once in Alaska for a few hours and had fun and a little success but that was 10 years ago.

My experience is similar, panning in the summer as a kid in a number of places around Alaska. I enjoyed doing it. I always remember freezing my hands off in the glacial water, though.

As for tips? Watch Gold Rush?

My favorite tip is not to pan where there is no gold. Blowing Rock, NC.

Gold Rush is the best show on TV. Todd Hoffman might be the dumbest person I've ever seen on television - true or not.

Thanks Michael! A filthy rich, childless widow with a terminal disease would be perfect.

Default Re: Gold Panning
My only tip is to not go panning cause its so much work. I had a coworker in Nome who had a shaker table setup. Soooooo easy to get some beach sand, come back load the table then load yourself with beer. Every two hours repeat. Best gold hunting I ever did. Even made beer money while doing it.

She CAN have a child as long as the child ALSO has the same terminal disease. Or a different one, not picky.

I cannot believe how callous and insensitive you are, Brad.
