As Vanzal mentioned, a metal detector video would be cool. I actually want to get a metal detector myself. They look a bit pricey though.

Great vid.

Yes, I love being outside in nature. When trout season starts I'll have a hard time choosing between fishing or gold... :).

So what restrictions do you have when panning for gold? Are you limited to hand tools, or could you dig up the entire river?

When working on unclaimed land, it is generally agreed that you should stick to hand operated mining(shovel, more...
