This question might sound a little bit dumb, but is it possible to find that much gold with just an ordinary pan? I guess that youāre dredging the bottom of a river, but are there any chances to find nice sized nuggets like that outside the rivers.
Non of the gold was dredged mate, all pan and shovel or snipe. Itās most certainly possible to pan big nuggets, you just need to be at the right place at the right time
Cool! That gives me hope for the future When you say āsnipingā do you mean like hunting with a metal detector? If thatās the case, what kind of detector are you using? I have my trusty old X-Terra 705, would that be a good machine for nugget hunting you think? Last two questions, do you need to get a permission to hunt on public lands, or can you just do it without even asking anyone? Are you hunting on private, or public lands?
Iām sorry for bothering you with all these questions, but I find this very interesting, and Iām really impressed by your finds. I would love to find my own gold someday, and next year might just be my chance since Iām planning to go on a trip to New Zealand, and stay there for a year
Oh Just watched a video about how to sniping for gold, didnāt realize it was under water business lol. Well, now I see how my questions about metal detectors suddenly make no sense in this threadā¦
Thanks anyway!
