Bill, Sorry for the intrusion, but I noticed that you are located in Arkansas. Being that close to Missouri, I was wondering if you knew where a person could go in Missouri and have some chance of panning gold (and finding some). I have been wanting to get into prospecting for years. I thought about joining the GPAA, but didn't know if there were any workable claim sites in my state or anywhere close. Maybe you could give me your advice. If you can't, maybe some of the others out there might know.

My sincere thanks, Rodger99
