Panning near Fresno
Our club goes to Broken Bridge for outings, it is public area near Friant Dam (no dredging). We use a sluice and pans out in the middle and find some color. Google Maps search 36.991, -119.7138
Up near Coarsegold is good, I have heard of some areas near the road still produce small nuggets (a law keeps claims from a certain distance from center of road) but you need to check that it isn't claimed. Im not sure if locals are generous with this information or not.
Those are the closest areas I have heard of so far. There is a local miner's supply in Clovis, RCM, he might be able to help further. Check our website (posted earlier) Links for his info.
As for metal detecting, the Clovis Rodeo is going on this weekend... Friday night concert etc. Don't know if they would let you check the rodeogrounds before/after performances. I am not familiar with other detecting locations yet. Maybe RCM can help with that also.
Hope I have helped a little :)
Panning near Fresno
I will be in Fresno from April 24-27. I hope to do a little panning (or metal detecting). Any suggestions for good places to try my luck?
4" dredge
I dont know of any, but our club has almost 100 members and is free to join. Maybe you could find out at our meeting on Tuesday. Feb. 19 at 6:30pm. For directions go to our website www.cvprospectors.org and at the very bottom left corner is a link for directions.
Hope you can make it, we have a great club, but don't judge us if you go Tuesday. It is election night, but we have some problems with bylaws so don't know if there is going to be a long discussion or not. There is an outing the following Saturday though you might be interested in.
Hope to see you there :)
