I’ve seen a lot of videos on TikTok of gold panning and I decided to start I’m sure I’ll get no where near the amount as the pros but I’ll be happy with just one spec I just have a couple questions I live in upstate ny can u really find gold there and what types of creeks shld I go too shld it be still,rushing,slowly moving and also does it matter the size?between a big creek or just ur average backyard creek
