Presidents Message
It's October already, the summer season is gone. Prettysoon your

doesn't mean prospecting season is over, aslong as you can dig in
the ground and your water is still liq-uid, you still can look for
gold. Just not as comfortable as itwas a month ago.
Nominations are still ongoing, so if you would like to be
thepresident or a officer, or know someone you would like
tonominate, speak up at the meeting. It's your club, make itthe
best you can.
Hurry up and sign up for the Turkey Shoot, "Nov 8" justmakes
everything a lot easier. Your last chance is at the Octmeeting.
One last note, if your not signed up and paid for the Christ-mas
Party "Dec 10" by our Nov meeting, "YOUR NOT COM-ING". End of
conversation, no excuses, you've be toldenough and this is your
last warning.
And by the way "Happy Halloween"

How to Choose a Gold Pan
A gold pan is both the beginning and the end of the gold
prospecting
process. It is used for sampling before you set up a sluice,
highbanker,
or dredge, and it is used for the clean up of concentrates that
are col-
lected by larger pieces of mining equipment.
A gold pan is the most basic and least expensive piece of
equipment,yet can be the most confusing because of all the choices
in size,
shape, color, and material. The most important thing is to
select the
correct size. Holding an empty pan is one thing, but once it is
filled with
heavy gravel and water, if it's too big you will end up with a
sore back, shoulders, and arm muscles.
A good way to choose the best size for YOU is to hold a gold pan
so that the open side of the pan
lies against your forearm. Rest the rim against your elbow
crease and notice where the opposing
rim lies. Ideally, the pan should fit between your elbow and
wrist crease. If the rim extends past the
base of your fingers, it is probably too large, so select the
next smaller size.
In addition to the traditional round shape, pans are now square,
hexagonal, triangular, and even a
blend of rectangular and round. Most prospectors favor a 10 or
12 inch round plastic pan, but it's
really a matter of personal preference. Plastic is light weight
and won't interfere with the use of a
magnet, but steel pans are sometimes favored by old-timers.
Color is also a matter of personal pref-
erence. Shiny gold shows up well against a black pan, but you
may like green or blue better be-
cause the magnetic black sand that usually accompanies gold
blends into a black pan. Pink is the
newest color; green is the most common.
After selecting a pan or two, keep in mind that practice makes
perfect in just about everythingit is
no different when it comes to gold panning. Luckily you can
practice in your kitchen or laundry sink
so that when you head outdoors, you'll pretty much already know
how to pan for gold and have your
technique nailed down.
