Where is a good place to pan for gold in Virginia

[Roadquest]

I have never tried panning for gold, It sounds interesting. Making a
dollar on it would not hurt either. But I would like to do it just for
the adventure of it. If anyone knows a good place to give it a try
and wants to post it, I will check it out.
Thanks Clayton... Roadquest

How'd you make out with that?

look for places where the river begins to slow down, or behind stones.(in the river, they can slow down the water/gold and then it might "hide" behind the rock)
large quartz amounts can also indicate gold.

look for exposed bedrock or bedrock close to the surface.
