I received a package recently that contained a shovel and gold pan. Been panning a little to a lot every day and there are colors in every pan. Really small stuff but digging deeper may increase the size of colors. I live in ohio were a few glaciers have deposited diamonds, rubies, garnets, gold and other metals and stones. It is so much fun to sit by a creek and look at all the amazing detail of the Earth. Found half a musket ball today and saw a lot of buck shot. I have more spots and earth to pan that I can get to! Still looking for some puckers but I feel the good stuff is deeper down. Just a dog, a guy, some gear and a gold pan!
