How many colors in a Pan ?

3 weeks to go, heading back to Alaska. Prospecting question, no wrong answers. How many colors in a pan get your heart beating faster? Size is a consideration as well. Flyspeck. Mosquito poop, Arkansas River in Colorado. How many are necessary for you to haul in some equipment to work in earnest?

Thanks

It happens in stages.
First, poke around until something gets your attention.
When that happens figure out just what you stumbled upon. Is it just a random fizzle or something more solid. Then, it completely falls on your shoulders as to "Is it enough, or not?" ""Enough"" in weight, size or richness of the ground or, even, depending on specifics, how hard it'll be to get your stuff into and out of the location. As it is with all of mining "... it just depends on ...".
The good news is that when that "Yahoo Moment" does happen you'll recognize it instantly.
Realize that we all learn about this stuff one stinkin' mistake at a time. :roll:
