I found that after just 2 trips to Beech Creek I have WAY more buckets of cons than I can reasonably pan out... So, I am selling my excess cons, spiked up with 1+ grams or 2+ grams of nice, clean fine gold. I plan to continue this business into retirement, when I move to Colorado in a few years and prospect in the Rocky Mountains, as I have done in the past. I hope to offer a great panning experience for those folks that can't physically get out, can't afford to get out with gas $3.75+ a gallon, live too many states away from good gold areas, want to keep their panning skills up, or maybe want to buy some birthday/Christmas gifts that glitter. Heck, any reason will suffice! I will gladly combine shipping to save buyers money. If you have any interest please visit my auctions that start Saturday 23 Aug 08 at 6PM PDT, or 2100 EST. I have some Sunday night auctions starting as well. Search on "Georgia concentrates" or on me as the seller, "C-17A". Will list some auctions soon hand-made for beginning panners and some too for the ultra expert panners sooooon. Thank Brian for the shameless plug! :) Randy    Report

FYI, I have just listed both a "beginners' panning bag and an "expert" paning bag tonight too, in addition to the 1+ gram and 2+ gram bags. If you have kids that are starting out, you might consider looking at my new auctions tonight. The beginner bag is almost all fine quartz rock, almost no black sand and very nice size flakes/pieces of gold. Nothing real small. This will all add up to a fast and easy panning. The "expert" bag is really a "Herschel" bag......IF Herschel is watching :) Pure heck to pan with -100 mesh gold and loads of fine black sand. I can build picker bags, nugget bags, and meet any need. Thanks again! Randy    Report

I hope to make this a part-time retirement job for years to come....Georgia now, and Colorado in a few years. Both are great gold states and have great gold streams. Personally, I have bought so many cons bags over the years from others that never quite "panned out" w/o a guaranteed amount of gold to bank on........ I do try hard to sell the "adventure", in my trip reports as well as in good cons with good, clean gold. You and all other prospectors know how much effort and cost goes into 6 hrs of driving, gas, food, time, equipment, etc., to get some gold concentrates to pan out later. For those that can't afford all the time/cost, buying cons bags like yours/these is a pure delight, and money well spent. Gold will go up........all the macro factors say so. Randy :)    Report

08-27-2008, 7:57 PM digi Joined on 08-09-2008 TN Posts 46 Re: Georgia Gold Concentrates For Sale Got mine in today, my daughters are excited, but I have to go buy a cement pan from the Depot. Sadly, due to previous job engagements, they likely won't get to pan it til Saturday. Looks good though, and packaged really well. I'll post pics whenever we get a chance to pan it out. Thanks.    Report

The first two are of the two 2+ grams bags, the total for the two bags came to around 4.5 grams, sorry for the second picture being so dark, but on the camera's LCD it looked all washed out with the flash so I deleted all the ones taken with the flash, but luckily I missed one so the first picture is GREAT, but all of the gold looked as good as in the first picture. The 2+ grams bags I would say are sorta a small Nugget and Picker bag as well, what do ya'll THINK!!!!! The third picture(which is to dark as well) is of the 6+ grams Nugget & Picker bag that Randy made for me, by the way Randy there was only 1 picker and 1 flake in the bag, but there were SIX NUGGETS in this bag, and they are as follows, starting from the top of the penny and going clockwise- 1.6 gram, 1.2 gram. 1.1, gram, .9 gram. .8 gram, .4 gram, for a total nugget weight of 6 GRAMS!!!, the picker and the flake and the fines are the + side of the bag, it is a very satisfying sound to hear those nuggets GROWLING in the bottom of the pan even before you can see them !!!!! I am VERY PLEASED with this purchase from Randy and would advise anyone you will not go wrong having Randy make you a bag of your choice, from fines to NUGGETS, he got it ALL!!!! I will go through the cons a second time, as I'm sure that there are some fines left in them, I'm consider myself a pretty good panner, but I went a little fast on the second 2+ grams bag, and at the end of the Nugget & Picker bag. Skip The pictures would not post, going to try them in the photo section, after eating supper! OK, it took several tries but I got them to post in the Photos Section!!

10-07-2008, 8:28 PM C-17A Joined on 01-30-2006 Posts 376 Re: Georgia Gold Concentrates For Sale Brian, It was my pleasure AND honor to send you a Randy Witham version of your original "Herschel Special" expert panner bag.......glad it got to you safely. God bless you and your service to our great nation and being deployed overseas time after time. I have gone a few times on deployment, and TDY out and back a lot, but nothing like you have done for extended periods year after year. I know what that means.... I knew that bag of -100 mesh gold and -50 GA black sand I made up needed to find its way to you! I have to admit I am sure there is some gold at least -200 in that 16 grains of flour I had been collecting for several years now. YOU, my firend, are a chosen member of the -200 mesh club now. I have only a few more grams of this ultra fine gold dust to challenge even the most proficient panner. Plz take your time, go slow and exhibit your best "backwash & tap/rap" technique to pull all that flour gold out of those cons. If you don't get at least 16 grains, you missed some my firend! So, make this "fine and pleasant misery" last.....get all the gold.........show us a picture of your prowess and gold recovery success! Randy    Report

As little as that "groove" is it will catch that -100/-200 mesh gold... I used that pan for a long time before I figured that out!!! lol... But once you get the hang of it, it makes getting that tiny gold out of the sands... PS...

Found a .679 gram nugget today! NICE! Slow going, but lots of nice gold. When I ever run out I'll buy from you again for sure.

Pan slow....use a little JetDry in the water........use a consistent "backwash and tap" in the final panning process to "pull" the fine gold out of the black sand. Don't let any get away. My standard 1+ gram bag is mostly fines with a few nice flakes too. I can build any bag you want...just tonight I built a gent two more 1/4 TOZ bags......one a mix from small nuggets to fines and one all fines. Wow. That nearly 8 grams of fine gold in my scales in 3 lbs of GA cons will be one rich bag to pan out! Come back anytime. Happy panning, Randy    Report

Those two Herschel Special bags I got off you were butt kickers.......think I repanned them twice at least and never got ALL the gold out. If you get bored, my eBay cons bags have been going strangely cheap lately.....so maybe bid on a few for way larger gold! I can ship a APO/FPO small box for just $10.95. Not bad all the way to where you are...Christmas is coming you know. Maybe Jill would like to surprise you with some good "dirt" bags? Ha! Be safe, Randy
