    Clicked immediately because I live in Leicestershire, then I started recognising where you were, but you kept saying Badon hill and I thought, I have never heard of it, until I realised when I saw the Quarry that you were at Bardon hill , just up the road from me, I'm in Bagworth, I love living here and I'm going to go gold spotting from now on on my walks 😄
    I highly recommended Thringstone woods for panning 😊

    Cornwall has produced substantial quantities of gold over the centuries also silver. Its the most diversified mineralisation area possibly of any where in the world. Once the largest producer of the world's tin and copper but also wolfram and uranium was mined commercially. Most metals have been recovered but not always commercially.

      There's no regs or license you can obtain to go hobby goldpanning in england . Scotland does have a good panning guidance, tho. All minerals in england are owned by the Crown estate, not the land owners, but they tolerate hobby goldpanning, and land owner permission should be seeked . Hope this helps 👍

    They are allegedly according to the BGS disbanded mineral reconnaissance Team 7 locations in Leicestershire that contain gold.
    I had a go at this area and didn’t find any on my first try.
    However I started panning around my local area in Nottinghamshire and I have found traces of Gold in 2 different locations 1st Mill Hill Spinny & 2nd Fairham Brook between ruddington and silverdale.
    The gold specimen video is on my channel. I have more pictures & your welcome to come look for yourself to clarify if your near south Nottinghamshire.
