Chris Gold Pan

Welcome to my gold panning journey!

I'm not trying to strike it rich. I'm just learning a new hobby and having some fun along the way. Based in NE Ohio, I'm exploring streams and glacial deposits to see what gold, if any, might be hiding nearby. Expect honest trial and error, muddy shoes, and the occasional sigh of defeat.

Alongside me is Grubstake Gus, a grumpy old prospector with strong opinions and questionable advice. He may not be real, but he sure thinks he knows everything.

If you're curious about gold panning in places people might overlook, you're in the right spot.
