I’m from Ohio and I heard earlier today that Gold is fairly common in creeks. I went to my closest creek in 40° weather and decided to use a plastic bowl for collecting sand to get gold and I found 3 pieces of Gold all weighing around 0.02 grams from what I think. Decided to collect it and I will do more tomorrow.

Wow thanks for this!!! This has to be the best of “DO’s” and “DON’Ts” on YouTube, I’ve watched a lot of different vids and this was the most informative I learned a lot from this! Thanks again

[craigstickler]

The slow mo shots were awesome thanks dan!

[rryanbeckman]

Education is one of the reasons we love what you do. Keep it up good sir!

[austinthompson]

I liked the slow mode of the pan great explanation of the skill dan

[davidbreen]

Pretty cool. I have watched a LOT of panning videos. your the first to explain the proper way to get the shiny to the bottom. I have always thought some of these folks were shaking too hard, but now i understand the why and how. thank you for the education.

"Digging by hand SUCKS." is a beautiful line, brilliantly executed. Great video!

[MD-NWWI]

Just what I needed! I just picked up a super sluice and a set of classifier. Such a great teacher you are. If you haven't already you should write a book!

[vinnyvdvici]

Thank you, Dan. Your existence on planet Earth helps me a lot.

[icoins]

a few years back, the wife and I went to Sutter's mill. They had a "learn how to pan for gold" hands-on thing where you pan seeded sand. I learned more about how to pan from watching your videos than I learned there, then you release this video explaining everything in detail. Well done, good sir.

[ElvinJewel]

OMG. . . . I just got a garrett gold panning kit that included the classifier, a 14" pan, snuffer bottle, two little vials, and two smaller pans. Then I come on to watch Dan and same stuff!! Coolio. Now to find a way to get out and try this gold panning. On my bucket list. LOL Got it from Fred's. :) Absolute senior newbie here.

Great vid and THANKS for the tutorial! All gold panning enthusiasts should watch this video first!

[michaellutman]

Thank you Dan, it is nice that you take the time to get knowledge out there for us. You and vogus have rekindled my grandfather's teachings in me and got me back out there.

[Bryan]

Best panning tutorial I have come across!

[backpages]

After watching this, I can't imagine how one could not find gold in their pan (unless it wasn't there to begin with). You are an educator for a reason Dan, you're good at it. Great video!

[richardbidinger]

Your enthusiasm is what gets people to watch your videos, but it's the information you impart to us all, that gets people to sub. I've watched other gold panning videos, but yours are definitely the best.

[JPsWoWaccount]

Glad you mentioned shaking and tipping at the same time. The first time I ever found gold was when I watched it fly right out of the pan doing that. Thankfully I was helping a buddy pan his cons so it just went into the tub

[donrock]

What a great video Dan. This shows why panning is also a great hobby for kids to learn. It's very forgiving and the losses are minimal while they are learning. As well as all ages. Thanks for the tips!! Enjoyed it!!

[bertchapeau]

I've been watching you for quite a while and this video was your finest yet. thanks Dan for your teaching us old timers these fundamentals we've forgotten, I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I can only hope to one day to be able to get to a stream like this to try my hand to find myself some gold, MN is missing streams like these. thanks again.Jim C AKA "bert"
