NZ Starter
Fossicking Guide
A practical first-trip planning PDF for New Zealand recreational fossickers: access checks, starter locations, gear prompts, panning workflow, terrain notes, and printable field worksheets.
No guaranteed-gold nonsense — just clearer preparation before you leave the road.
Checkout should open Lemon Squeezy. If it redirects to support, use the manual NZ$29 guide-link request; never send card details by email.
Start with safe public-area basics
Use the scout layer for the obvious first trip: beginner sites, starter gear, and enough context to avoid turning up blind.
Upgrade when you need a field document
The starter paid guide is for practical trip planning: access discipline, gear checks, panning workflow, terrain prompts, and printable notes.
First sellable guide is now built
The NZ Starter Guide is a 12-page printable PDF with access checks, terrain prompts, starter locations, and field-note worksheets.
What the NZ$29 guide actually contains.
The paid product is not a mystery checkout. The private PDF asset exists, has been inspected, and is positioned as a first-trip planning document: legal-access discipline, field workflow, terrain-reading prompts, three starter-area cards, and printable notes.
Filename: paystreak-nz-fossickers-bible.pdf. The public title is NZ Starter Fossicking Guide.
Source-quality check passed before encrypted delivery: 12 pages, A4 page size, extractable text.
Concise field-pack length: access discipline, method, starter-area cards, and worksheets.
Checkout-live status still depends on Lemon Squeezy live mode; manual resend fallback stays visible until checkout smoke is green.

Table of contents
Actual private guide structure
Beginner hand-tool fossicking scope, 2026 draft edition, and current-rule warning.
What the pack includes and the explicit boundary: this guide helps plan; it does not grant access.
Six-step checklist before the pan comes out: public area, signage, river level, weather, contact plan, hand tools.
Pan, classifier, snuffer bottle, vials, crevice tool, gumboots, gloves, bucket, towel, and why each matters.
Fill, stratify, classify, wash, finish, and record — slow enough to keep fine gold and useful notes.
Inside bends, boulder shadows, bedrock cracks, clay/false bedrock, flood benches, and black-sand signals.
A timed first-trip workflow: observe, pick traps, sample small, repeat signals, reset the site.
Arrow River, Shotover River, and Gabriel's Gully planning cards with access posture, best use, notes, and avoid prompts.
Before-leaving checks, kit list, and site-note worksheet for sample quality and return/no-return decisions.
Turns one first trip into repeatable notes, access verification, terrain reading, and future regional packs.
