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?

Pan(14in, second 12in pan suggested)
1/2in classifier(optional but I highly recommend, 1/8in classifier(optional)
shovel and some sort of pick and/or crevacing tool
knee pads(also optional but highly recommend)
Japanese style gardening gloves with cloth body but palm and fingers have a rough rubber coating will save your finger tips!
waterproof gloves are also a very nice addition if you're panning in cold water

if youre going to be sitting in the same spot for more than 20 minutes youd be better off getting a sluice box and not a pan
you can run 5x the material through it and the downsides are that you need to set it up first and need flowing water

All the gold-bearing rivers and creeks near me already have claims up and down them. Are you sure you won't be poaching on someone's stake?

I'm thinking about getting my first gold detector. My budget is saying minelab gold monster 1000. But the 2000 just came out a few months ago. It's a bit over twice the price. But is supposed to have a better processor and better discrimination. As a beginner, should would I notice a difference? Is it twice as good or easy to use? And over the long run, will I be better off investing in the newer model? Or should I just get the 1000?

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