Seasoned prospectors have been warning forums such of this one that the proliferation of Internet wantabees would destroy much of the areas that we have enjoyed for so many years ! The OP is indicative of many places in all states . I recently took pics of a camping spot that was just...

A smart miner once told me " panning starts at the sluice " what he meant was there is no use collecting 10 litres of concentrates for X amount of gold ! Set the riffle box up to do 80% of the panning ! much better to have 1litre of cons to the same X amount of gold! Also he was at pains to not...
