    Thanks for all your videos man, your personality is awesome and when Gadzee is there makes it even better. Gotta love having a good friend to share your hobbies with. I just got into the hobby a few years ago, my grandpa used to take me with him when I was a kid to go rockhounding and to all the local gem shows and shops. He even won a quarts hunting competition in the 80s, paid for the whole trip for everyone and still had a little money in his pockets when he got home.

    What I do when I'm speed panning is I pan down until I see Black Sand.
    Then I dump that pan into my Cons Bucket.
    To make sure I am still on the Gold, I pan down to the Gold each fifth pan full.
    I concentrate this way because panning Black Sand is a pain in the bum, and my Underflow makes quick work of it while capturing everything down to Micron Gold.
