"You really should be one of the first people to put up a video of the Magnetar 9000."

Learning how to pan is easy. Get yourself a gold pan, fine sandpaper to get rid of the factory finish and three BBs. Get a tub of water, I use a plastic concrete mixing tub, a pan full of dirt. Put the BBs in the dirt and start panning it out. If you can pan down to the black sand and manage to keep all three BB each time, every time, you will get the gold. Re-concentrate (shake) frequently. A drop of Jet Dry or Dawn in the water will break the surface tension and help keep the really small flakes. I did this method until I could get through a pan in a couple of minutes or less and still have the BBs. My prospecting buddy could get through a pan in less than a minute and not miss a thing. He taught classes on how to pan. I am a geologist and can tell you that this guy had a nose for gold like I have never seen.

You were in my neck of the woods Gold mines only about 30 minutes away from me. Love the video thanks.

Many of the dug pits in that area produced nuggets in the 1 pound + range. NOT just the Reed mine, dozens of dug pits produced huge gold nuggets.

There is lots of gold in the Uwharrie National Forest. You can pan all you want but detectors are not allowed. I tried panning there twice. Found some flour gold the first time. The second time, the creeks were all dried up.

Great video, thanks C.D.

Great video of a historic gold mining area now turned into a museum. Very little on actual comparisons of metal detectors you promised.

For your area probably the 6000 with the stock 11" mono coil. It also comes with a 14"DD.

I always told my buddy if we had gold in our creeks near me. That would be my second job during the summer lol. I cant think of the youtuber name. I believe he is in Australia and he goes in the river with a snorkel and moves the rock around and suck it up in the bottles. Some of his trips. He will find grams after grams to once sometimes. I have always wanted to go pan for the gold. I think that would be fun

Interesting note xp are bringing out the ikon and ikon x detectors soon have you seen the info on them. Interesting really

XP makes the best gold pans on the market. Snake skin section for fine gold. Wash and season the pans prior to use. Use a floculent like jet dry in the pan to prevent loss of fine gold. It will float.
