Im still in my early stages of prospecting but eager to get out more but when I'm out there I find myself going, I should have brought that. What are some of the more important pieces of equipment to take out in the field? Thanks for the feed back!!

Shovel, pick, and gold pan. Obvious items but it is amazing how many people will for get one of them.

I take two shovels with me. My long one and a army e-tool. Can't get that dirty moving without it! (unless you are dredging) I had one break in the field once and it about ruined my day till i just unfolded my backup plan lol. Also the pan is what it all comes back to in the end, carry two of those as well. A great pack to hold all your equipment is very nice to have. I'm a combat vet so i know what it means to be prepared lol. Fresh water to drink is a must if you happen to get hurt or immobilized your survival time just about doubles with it. I have a 100 oz bladder a keep in my pack. Buckets to move material, classify or just to sit on is great to have. A knife to do just about anything with is a good security and a way to create fire. Duct tape, flashlight and multi tool are good justincases lol. Don't forget your sniffer bottle! If your running a sluice something to feed it good to have i use a standard issue canteen cup. That thing has been used and abused and keeps on keepin on! Last but not least your gold getting device (sluice)! Hope this helps. There is probably some things i missed I'm sure someone else will have some great ideas too! Good luck getting that gold!

The most important things are your head and your body. Take care of both!

Classifiers! And five gallon buckets with lids, the lids are key! Keeps paydirt where it belongs if you don't pan it all out while you're onsite. I like bringing a camera along too, always find something interesting to take a picture of, plus it's good for my note taking later, or for posting pictures to share here. And a sandwich or two can keep you going for a little while longer. Oh and if you're getting into cold water some hip waders sure help keep you warm! And I always bring extra clothes since I tend to end up wet or muddy too.

For prospecting placer it's my GMT for reading the black sand and for hard rock it's my Gamma detector. For working placer it's my 50 gallon plastic water tank, my hand cranked trommel,Gold Cube then my old Keene Green Bowl. Works for me.

I'd have to say my PANS!

Because I start with a pan -- sampling.

And I end it in a pan -- cleanup.

Truth is, I smile into my pans more than I smile at most people.

I only bring what I can pull down the trail with my modified mountain bike and gear loaded hand truck.
. ...and that's all I bring.

The most important tool is your healthy body as without it all of the above is absolutely useless. Followed by common sense in difficuly situations with the ability not to panic in dangerous situations. Then a pan as no matter what ya run,ya always end up with a pan in your hand man. Been thata way for 1,000s a years so learn from the wisdom of the ages and learn to pan EXPERTLY. As ifn' ya don't, it doesn't matter what ya run because you'll just throw it all back by lousy panning in the end-John

A magnifying glass is good to have. And as Hoser John said, learn how to pan. I quess my contribution here would be "Knowledge" on how to use all of your tools well and how and where to look for gold.
