Panning for gold

Anonymous Mon 09 Feb 2026 02:02:41 No.2860725 View View Reply Original Report

Due to being a dwarf (5’8), my proximity to a major river known for having gold and spots to look for it, and the current gold prices I have decided to dwarfmax. Anyone here ever panned for gold? I’m not thinking of getting much to start for supplies just a mesh sifter a shovel and a pan. Anyone who pans for gold around here have any input for supplies or tricks?

Goblin coded. It's only dwarf-worthy if you're digging into rock or at least earth.

I've got a Minelab SDC2300. Folds up to fit in a backpack, waterproof and piss easy to use. It's sensitive enough to pick up gold as small as half a rice grain but doesn't give false signals on anything except rocks that are almost pure iron. Only downsides are that it's not real ergonomic and there's no iron discrimination.
Couple of mates have gold monster 1000s and they squawk and give off signals on every mineralized rock, especially when it's wet. They are great for finding the tiniest little flakes of gold in shallow, unmineralized soil but the amount of noise that they make kinda ruins the serenity for me.

I think grok just talked me into getting the gold monster 1000. My primary prospecting locations are only moderately mineralized. More so out towards Trinity. But not as much in Shasta County or the northern Sierra Nevadas. It's pretty neat that you can ask AI follow up questions and it'll continue updating it's responses based on all of the previous inputs. Based on my budget, prospecting locations and user feedback about several different VLF detectors. It would seem the 1000 is my best bang for the buck option. The 2000 is getting mixed reviews. Better on hot or highly variable locations, but will not always read gold if it's near that hot material. So I'll probably get the 1000 and look into something like the SDC2300 Sometime in the future, assuming I can actually find enough gold to justify it.

Not buying it now, still need to wait until the first of March. So if anyone else has more feedback, please share!

That's sexual harassment in the UK, you'll be hunted down and sentenced to a minimum 2 year sentence if you do this.
What you have to do, at least if you're in the UK, is follow young girls home and rape them (kidnapping is optional if you want to deal with long term storage). The most that could happen is you get 180 hours of community service or some shit, especially if you're an inbred.
Consult the Northumbria Police if you want further details of what kind of association with a female is and is not acceptable.

It's not easy lacking depth perception but you adjust fairly quickly. I just have to take it a little slower and "test" each step before I fully commit my weight to it on uneven slopes. I trip over rocks all the time but that's because I'm being retarded and trying to go at my pre-injury pace, if I actually take the time to slow down then it's really not that bad.

What sucks the most is that I'm "mostly" blind in that eye. I can see very rough shapes, colors, and outlines, to the point where I suffer from major double vision where one eye is clear and sharp and the other is, well, not. That can get disorienting.

I like the cooler idea, too. I thought about packing an icepack or two, haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

my hiking ends up doing a lot of stumbling through thickets of brush and having to climb up and around boulders at the edge of cliffs so that would be much no fun without binocular vision

Your map shows the driest parts of the state to be....in the western half lmao. The precip is all just concentrated around the mountains, not on one side of them. There is even a lot of green southeast of denver which is east of the mountains.

And yes the state does get most precip in the summer. Pic is Co springs, jan to dec then the total. That pattern is consistent across the state, with some in the west also getting a lot in april/may. Try to find me any climate data for a town in CO that has the most precip in the winter, just try. You realise a foot of snow isnt a foot of precip right?

Perfectly fine idea as long as you're not in horrible condition. Resorts often have really good new skiier deals where you get lessons, gear, and lift tickets for less than you'd normally pay for just the tickets, and this time of year you're likely to end up 1 on 1 with the instructor too.

Honestly spring corn snow is the best to learn on. Its generally warmer and sunnier so its easier to be outdoors for a longer time. Its also less crowded in spring since people forget that they can go skiing once they get one 60 degree day. Just plan to get on the mountain after noon so the snow will start to soften up.

except its not. your pic is of a contrail. Cloud seeding has nothing to do with contrails. cloud seeding is done from smaller planes at lower elevations and/or often done from the ground. You need storm clouds to be present already to seed. You dont seed clear skies. of course, contrails are just ice and nothing to be afraid of....

start with a pilots license and then maybe these guys will hire you:
