I announced plans to hold some speed-gold-panning workshops this spring for interested Central Texas Treasure Club Members at our February CTTC meeting. The first one will be held some Saturday in May.
I decided to share these secrets, that I learned from the then-World Champion Speed Gold-Panner and professional treasure hunter Richard Ray in 1984, with dues-paid Club Members who want to learn. I've used this technique successfully to pan gold for many years. Once you learn these secrets, you can forget about the old, slow methods of panning gold that you've heard about your entire life.
There will be only 2 requirements to sign up for these free workshops.
1) You must be a dues-paid Central Texas Treasure Club Member.
2) You must have or buy a 14" Garrett Gravity-Trap (Gold Trap) Gold Pan like the one in the photo. This is the ONLY gold pan that you may use as it's the kind I learned with and the only kind I can teach you how to use successfully and it must be the 14" pan.
Each workshop will include only 3 Members and myself and will be held at a flowing Brownwood or Brown County creek. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. I will go over this information in our CTTC February Newsletter that I will send out in a few days and I'll start making a list of those Members who meet the requirements and want to participate at our March 3rd meeting.
You can find these pans on ebay but I believe Garrett offers the best price.
