davidcyndi58 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 David and I went on our first GPAA/LDMA outing and got our first gold and we are sooo hooked! I also wanted to thank everyone for their posts, as I have told Gary, I learn a great deal from what is posted here! Here is a picture of what gold we have so far....we brought home a lot of material to pan out and have not gotten to that yet but here is the first part atleast!

29prospector Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well for your first gold, that is down right pretty. Getting hooked is not hard when you get that kind of gold first trip out. WTG.O'29er in 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTG.O'29er in 29Well this was our first official outing with GPAA/LDMA but we had been out panning before....although this was the first gold we found too....kinda helps to know a bit about what you are doing and being out there with those that have been doing it a long time we picked up a lot of information too!

pondmn Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 David and Cindi It sure helps to be with an organization that can give some pointers on panning, detecting or whatever. Keep up the good work. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Ron Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Nice gold, especially for your first try...How'd you find it? Panning, sluicing or ? Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcyndi58 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 We were running highbankers on the common operation and then panning during our free time. We got to go to a class on sluicing and several of the old timers were nice enough to stop by where we were panning and give us a few tips as well.

Ridge Runner Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 David &Cyndi You are hook now and done great the first time out.You said first gold but like alot of things gold is different.That was your first gold that day with tomorrow your first gold will be just as exciting as the day you started.The first gold of the day carries the most excitement.That goes on day after day and the joy plus excitement last for ever.
