I found $20 worth of gold once while panning in the Kootenays as a nugget. Wasn't really big. Maybe the size of a Basmati rice grain?

And a bunch of flakes that would fest a few dollars or so combined.

More much tinier but it was in a tin with the water and sand altogether, I really can't remember.

The reason I asked is ... You're sitting on a bunch of gold.

You could find pieces of gold in sizes like I just showed you and earn another trip to the USA. Gold prices is just ridiculous right now.

I was thinking of going to Australia just to detect for gold. (Metal Detector.)

Canberra is pretty decent, there are other places to the south and southwest of you, near lake eyre (?? spelling) that has rich deposits of gold. I've seen huge chunks of nuggets from the area, it was unbelievable.

Australian gold isn't worth much compared to B.C. gold because of impurity. ;)

Try your luck in Ballarat, Victoria about an hour north outside of Melbourne.
