Cottonwood beach prospect/backpacking

Today I went to captain William clark park and panned for gold. There’s plenty of shiny stuff but not too much gold. This was my first backpacking trip so I tested my kit by walking around the beach, setting a tent and unpacking. Inside My backpack is a small tube tent, a fire starter bag, 2 digging tools and a small gold pan with a medkit and tiny bottles. On the outside is rope and thick rope with clips on the ends, held down by a bigger gold pan.
Flashlight, JBL clip speaker and knife on the front.
My pack isn’t exactly ultralight but I can handle some weight. I got some black sand with gold flakes and dug that for a few hours. It started raining and i bottled inside my tent. My phone died and it got dark so I pulled out the dynamo light and tore down camp, which was a hassle as the tent didn’t wanna fold back into the neat square. I made it fit and walked back in the rain.
I got to jack in the box shortly before closing and the 8$ munchie meal which is a good deal for the amount of food there is. I need to figure out who will buy gold flakes
