In my reading there is gold in them there hills and some time soon Id like to look for some. I was wondering who here has been bit by gold fever and has actually taken the time to do it? Tricks, where to look and not, dos and do nots?

Bed rock in the creek bottoms are supposed to be the best chance of finding it from what Ive seen. It washes to the bottom of the creek and stays close to the bottoms which is the bead rock. Sounds like a fun thing to try for a change. I need to get out and start trying some of this stuff.

Anyone know where this is? Looks familiar to me for some reason.

I've done it a few times. Where to find it you ask, well gold is where you find it.  TDay I've done some prospecting in and around areas where it has been found in the past. found very little for my efforts. Someday

We got real metal gold pans, but haven't used them yet! Need to find us some flakes and nuggets (and not talking about snow or chicken)!!!
