Panning for Gold

Hi,

Coming over from the UK next August and would like to do some real Gold panning. I%26#39;m waiting for Wade Mill to get back to me, but can anyone suggest somewhere we could do some %26#39;real%26#39; panning, possibly with a local!

Cheers

Roger

Panning for Gold

Hello,

Here%26#39;s a listing of gold mines in the Black Hills that offer panning:

From what I have read on this site, Wade%26#39;s seems to get high recommendations, but it may not offer the ';local'; experience you are looking for. We visited Big Thunder Gold Mine in Keystone, but we did not pan for gold. The tour was quite interesting, and the guides do a nice job in explaining the story behind the mine.

Accomodator, the local destination expert, may have some tips on finding a local who might pan with you. Good luck.

You might try to contact somebody with the local prospecting club.

I don%26#39;t know a lot about it, but you%26#39;ll find the ';real'; gold panning near places like Mystic, Silver City, Rochford, Dumont, Savoy and so on. You probably won%26#39;t find much further south near Mount Rushmore or Custer State Park.

Since this post was in the Badlands forum, keep in mind that any gold panning is a good 50-100 miles away from the Badlands.

Many Thanks

Hi, Thanks for that, yeh sorry I didnt think of the Badlands when I entered the query. We are heading up towards the Black Hills for about 6 days later in the holiday and will be based around Spearfish %26amp; Custer.

Thanks for your help

Best Wishes

Roger
