Welcome to The Gold Club
Our website
provides information on gold panning for land owners, game keepers, farmers,
and angling clubs
with gold bearing rivers who may be interested in seeing what
we
do and how we do it.
Our aim is to take into consideration the wider implications
and privileges that go with having access to private land
and to
that end this website provides information not just on gold
panning but also on the equipment used. |

Recreational Gold Panning
Gold panning is hard work. Most
days we do nothing more exciting than move
large stones and rocks in freezing rivers, as well as
carrying all our equipment to and from the car.
We understand that
we must have permission from those with rights to the gold
as well as land owners for access to their land before we go
gold panning. |

Gold
Sniping
Sniping for gold is the method of using a drysuit or
wetsuit, snorkel and mask to look for gold in cracks in
exposed bedrock on the river bed. It is not gold panning.
The only equipment used in gold sniping is basically just a
geologist's hammer, small chisel, patio weeder for scraping
cracks, and snuffer bottle

Not a
Road to Quick Riches
Unfortunately, gold panning in the UK is
not a road to quick riches. Gold
panning in the UK is a hobby and it will more than likely cost
you a lot more money than it makes you when you add up
petrol, travelling expenses, and expensive
kit such as drysuits.
If you're looking for friends and an outdoor life that
promotes fitness, sure, have a go at gold panning, but it won't make
you rich. |
