Awesome gold panning tour. We dug in the dry river bed, washed it in the pans Danny set up & found gold! We also found clear & rose quartz crystals! I Danny is a very knowledgeable guide & a passionate gold hunter.

Booked a gold panning tour through the Facebook page and the kids (11,9,7,5) loved it. We had a little gold in almost every bucket and the kids found a few small crystals too (as well as some slate/quartz rocks he let them bring home). They enjoyed interacting with Daniel, who was laid back and informative.
