panning buddy wanted Options

[fenixsmom]

Hey there everyone. I'm just starting out my addiction to gold panning. I live in the Golden area and am looking for anyone who would want to join in local areas. I'm not looking to invite myself to someone's claim or dig after their "glory holes". I'm just looking for new friends to to go with my new hobby :D I'm currently trying to save up enough money to pay for membership to really saturate myself with like minded individuals! I only know of three local rivers (probably everyone's first rivers). I hope to see you all out there good luck and happy hunting! I'll just be over here ~> lol bye folks!

Excuse my greenhorn nature, but isn't a trommel a large-ish piece of equipment? I don't know the spot you're speaking of, is there a public area that allows larger equipment? Or is this a private claim? I'm not a full blown member yet. So dont spill the beans on inclusive information for someone like me. I'm working on saving bits and pieces (that my husband doesn't spend on ice fishing equipment) he's such a stinker!
