    Hello Folks.
    I've just been out panning for a couple of afternoons.
    Thought I might put the 'flakes' I found into the nottom of the pan and take a photo.
    Came out quite good really.
    What do you think?
    Cheers.

    wow!

    keep going for that gold. If florida had gold I would be out there everyday. Closest I could get gold is to hit the beach and find modern jewlery.

    Them there be PICKERS!!

    Nice work, that's why I want to go to Aussie Land. The good news is you have a few nice chunky pieces that have not been beat too flat like most placer gold. This means your close to the source, and may be doing some hard rock mining in the near future. Find someone with a good gold metal detector, and work the areas above the banks.

    Or you can have me drop my, and I'll bring my one man mining operation to town. OH! We would be a two man operation.

    Cheers
