The Gear & The Grind

Eureka Gold Panning Logo

Hey, I’m Michael.

Gold has a way of getting under your skin. Once you find your first flake, you are hooked. That is what Eureka Gold Panning is all about: real creeks, real prospecting, real gemstones, and real adventure.

I served in the Marine Corps, and while that did not make me a geologist, it taught me discipline, persistence, and how to keep moving when things get cold, wet, and miserable. Prospecting is not about luck. It is about learning how water and geology work, putting in the effort, and enjoying the hunt.
