Taking a country wide trip need help

[mazzy74]

M looking at buying an rv and taking a trip around the country dredging. I have a 4 inch dredge and I was looking at purchasing another and a hydro force nozzle. Anyway, I'm looking for a list of each states dredging/high banking/prospecting laws regulations and permit fees. I'm in pennsylvania and I plan on going south through Georgia then Alabama. Traveling west until I hit California north to Oregon and from there I want to hit idaho then Nevada. Las Vegas was going to be my last stop before heading back east with the possibility of dredging some more on the way back. Any help would be much appreciated.

If it's too much to ask, what are the best areas of the states along that path? I need to officially plan my path on the map. I hope I see some of you along the way.

When you get to Alabama you will want to check out the Lineville, Alexander City and Dadeville area's. These towns are in Clay and Tallapoosa counties the main gold area's in Alabama.
Let me know when you get here, maybe we can do a little digging togethor.

Don't forget North Carolina on your way to Georgia
Also after Nevada you may want to take a route on the way back so you can hit Colorado.

Might as well hit my state of Indiana while you're at it.
The gold is small but not too hard to find.
