I am a new member and 55. Just retired on 30 acres in Hayesville North Carolina, Clay County. I have a creek that's not only beautiful but just begs to be searched for gold. My limited research has indicated that I have an ideal situation. The creek runs right down the middle of my property, long ways and narrow. I am literally buried between two mountains. Meaning that 30 foot in either direction I have some pretty tall mountains on each side of the creek. And so I probably have a half mile of creek that takes many twists and turns and goes over numerous waterfalls. Huge areas of bedrock that run from the top of the mountain all the way down into the creek. 30 foot wide and 200 foot high. The land has been privately owned and never searched for gold on.
I ordered a 5 foot sluice to put under the waterfalls. $130. Don't want to make a major investment until I make sure I follow through because I know that I am lazy. My research, again Limited, has told me the best starting point is to search in the crevices of the bedrock with a crevice tool.
Also have experienced some very high water levels as it was one of the wettest seasons on record. Another indication I may be in good shape to find something. Plus I have dozens of nice gravel beds begging to be searched. Let's just say that I think as a possibility of finding gold goes, I am as in good shape as any if not much better.
My intuition tells me that people who do this, have much more good moral and ethics and integrity than the normal person. This is pure speculation but just something that I believe. With that understanding, I would like to open up the opportunity for much more experienced individuals to come out and see what they can find and we would split it down the middle.
