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!

This is a small trommel that amorton built - and I bought it when he moved. On person can move it, in pieces (it breaks down nicely). The whole setup is on wheels, so it
can be maneuvered around once set up. Battery powered motor that will run all day on a 12 lawn tractor battery. I use my dredge pump for water. I can lift the whole
thing (barely!) so it's not that heavy, around 200# or so. The heaviest single piece is the tube (around 70#), then the bottom hopper (about the same). I can carry each
separate piece with one arm (7 total). It's way cool! Look up amorton's posts in the equipment section to see pics. I can (and have) use this at Clear Creek as it is about the
same as a high banker, and my dredge pump is 1 1/4". Unless the rules have changed, you can still use gas powered pumps there.
