    HELP NEEDED PLEASE> I have not been prospecting long, but noticed when prospectors pass their trowel over the metal detector they discard what is is their hand. Question is, do you ever wonder if there was a second piece of gold in your hand you discarded, and just keep scanning the trowel you know is giving a signal. I would be scanning my fist of dirt on the scanner too, or do you just scan the tailings before you pack up, is that simpler. Much thanks my man....

    Hi thanks for the videos. I'm in western Washington and trying to pan a river up here, I'm a green beginner. I'm having the hardest time because the material seems so big, there isn't much sand at all where I'm at, it's all gravel and bigger rock.. Is there a technique for this type of panning or should I just move on and try to find another area. I'm finding all sorts of garnet, not sure if that's a good or bad sign but I'm trying to learn.
