gold panning

[Camper292000]

That would be great. And yeah that's a great map. You hear gold and Dahlonega all the time but the bands really come down this way.

So if you could go back in time to a gold rush... Would you go for the gold or set up a store selling picks and pans?

We're headed out today over to Glade creek if anybody wants to join us.
Easy to find, its off of Glade road. Anns trace which dead ends at the trail head, you can't miss my truck. Expect a mucky walk in, I was there yesterday looking around.

Linky with directions and GPS coordinates.

After the initial "Honey........I think I found gold" shock, it's actually easy to see in a pan of black sand especially after you been starring at mica flakes for an hour or two.

Camper, I'll send you a pm the next time we thinking about going.

Check out this map, you may have seen a version of it before, but this actually adds the county lines which helps narrow down locations.

We have found gold outside of that map, but if you are in the highlighted areas, you are definaltly in the gold.

For those that are new to prospecting or even a seasoned prospector, I highly suggest taking visiting http://hunting4gold.com/ this guy knows his ****! I learned a lot from watching his you tube videos.

If it don't rain too much I think I'll be in the creek tomorrow!

I've done a little in Rabun county and DeKalb county. I've found some rubies, but no gold. Sure is fun though, and a hell of a lot of work.

Villa Rica translates to "city of gold". Right?


They used to have a slice box and you could pan for gold at Blackburn state park outside dal-uh-neg-uh
You could tour the old mines. Etc

After the state gave the park to the county in the late 70s I'm not sure what happened to it

I live in Dahlonega and have a gold mining ditch in my backyard that connects two natural springs.

Apparently it was mined pretty heavily back in the day so much that the ditch it still very predominant and only used now as a deer path.
I have played around panning at both sides of the spring and have found gold dust....lots of gold dust but as of yet no nuggets.

It is pretty fun just to be out in nature especially when both springs have a small waterfall right in the back yard.
