Default Going prospecting!

Finally i am going to be able to try my hand at panning this weekend. I am looking for any helpfull hints from treasurequest members. Me and my detecting partener are new to prospecting and we both just went out and bought standard ridged pans and we are going to a place that is famous here in Utah for good sized nuggets along with a lot of gold flakes the name of the place is GOLD HILL. Well we have no idea what we are doing and we definately need HELP....lol


Thanks

Hi Bill,

Good luck this weekend. There are old goldmine's around this area, but I've never been. Perhap's your experience can help other's. I've pasted a site that might be where you're going. HH David

There are a few gold mining places that my brother used to hunt before he moved to alaska. I am hoping to be able to hit a couple of those as well as hit a couple silver mines that I am looking at.

Probably do a weekend camping trip to do one of these before the weather starts really getting bad.
