Hi Colour, I just picked up a pan myself and went out for the first time today at Mount Crawford Forest. The friendly staff at the info centre had me fill out a fossicking permit ($5) and pointed me in the direction of some locations I could try.

There weren't any running creeks but a few ponds of standing water meant me and a mate could pan. I don't know if it was luck, but we managed to find a spot that was giving a speck of gold every second pan or so. Not much but was exciting for a first time and better than I had expected.

I can recommend checking it out if you're looking for somewhere not too far away from Adelaide.

I'm keen to learn of any other easily accessible spots around the place but seems like they are few and far between in SA.

Good luck!
