How many have found gold in more than one state? How many states? I have 2... AZ and CA. I am thinking of hitting up more states to see how many I can collect. How many have you collected? Even if just flakes and flour. TTC

Hi Terry,
I've found gold in NorCal and some distance out of Anchorage Alaska. I've been to a working placer mine out in the "boonies" and trust me these folks do not look like any of the guys on the TV show about mining in Alaska as they were dirty, greasy, tired, hungry and generally friendly. They had found a smattering of fossils as well as some nice gold - things like Mammoth teeth and the front leg bone to miniature horses. The camp cook was Really Good, what a wonderful meal! It was a good time.

Good success with getting to all of these places and finding the yellow metal. So a different quart jar full of gold from each place, is that what you are shooting for??.........63bkpkr

Rutnbuck, just curious - where and when did you commercial placer mine in nevada, if you don't mind me asking? I have rockhounded most of northern
nevada and i've only seen one commercial placer mine in twenty years and that was near I-80 and the road south to Fallon.
