A quick trip. Sometimes you just need to get your dig on.😎

Panning for gold in the Uwharrie National Forrest, NC. It's my first dig here in the state. I walked around the day before and did a test pan. The second pan gave me a few flakes so I knew it was worth starting a dig. Not enough water flow for a sluice larger than a mini hand held so I got one. Perhaps we'll try it on the next trip. I'm sure this is just the beginning. Until then I hope everyone enjoys this trip. Heavy pans my friends.

I found a decent area to get a little gold. Flour gold. Panning is the only way to extract the gold without water flowing. A pocket sluice would be fine so I got one. We will try it on the next trip. Until then, heavy pans my friends.

Scouring the area within Uwharrie National Forrest, NC. We must find the next dig site. I did succeed. 😁
