In this video I crevice for gold on my amazing Pickerton claim I know this bedrock crevice could be hiding gold nuggets. This crevice has already produced lots of nuggets including to very large gold nuggets. And I know there is more close by. I just have to pull out my Gold pan and start panning. Check Out What Was Hiding In This Crevice!

I have not tried panning for gold. It looks interesting. After watching you video, I have concluded that you have the patience of Job. It would be difficult for me to sift through all that dirt for a few grains of gold. I guess that is what you have to do in order to find the big nuggets. You fit the part of what I imagine a gold prospector would look like. All you need is a donkey or borough carrying a few burlap sacks and a pick axe. I like the scenery too.
