The beauty of alluvial prospecting in rivers and creeks is that the gold they contain can be at least in part replenished over time by the natural processes of landslides, hillside and riverbank erosion, flood-waters moving riverbed gravels, tree falls exposing unworked ground, etc. "Places many others have been before" can become productive once again!

You mention panning and highbanking, but don't overlook crevicing/sniping, which can be a very productive and enjoyable prospecting method:
