An excellent gold panning instructional video made in Australia by Aussie Bloke Prospector.

The black sand in Australia does seem pretty scarce. We have tons more in CO, with loads of tiny gold here. There is a reason Australia's first 2 letters are AU! Big gold and a lot of it. Anyway, here's the video. It should be very helpful to anyone who needs help improving there panning technique, or anyone brand new to panning.

Matt,

Thanks for sharing and posting here on the Forum!

Way too few folks here these days... Guess only the "hard core" prospectors still exist? Ha.

Well thankyou Randy ! Now you can send me the pound of gold for my comments!

Russ,

Double HA! A "pound" of gold is a lot...

I don't have it, sorry....

I'll just have to heap cheap praise and endless accolades on you.

Keep up the good work, surfing the Forum here, helping me keep it on life support!!!

O.K. I'll settle for a half pound!
