Cacati in mano e pigliati a schiaffi!

Not gonna lie, kind of intrigued. Looking into getting into this as kind of way for meditation you know? I'd want to go to creeks and rivers and pan there, using hand held tools and not paying a shitload of money for this. So I have a couple of questions.

Is it preferable to pan and find a good spot with gold, fill up my buckets and take them home?
How do you find a good spot near rivers and creeks?
Would I need anything besides a pan or two, a shovel and a 5 gallon bucket?
Even though I am not looking to go big, what would be the best advice you could give a beginner?
What do you think of those concentrates you can buy on eBay (spent 2 hours on YouTube and saw that)?
Is the whole process relaxing, or do you find it tedious?

Currently, I have two plans with the gold I hope to find. Melt the gold into enough to make a ring for my wife, and keep the gold and eventually sell it when I want to buy a new toy (see camera lens). But even if I don't find anything I'm Hoping it can give me a sense of relaxation and peace of mind.

Edit: how important is it to classify your pay dirt?
