Allegheny County Gold

[Goldmantle]

Hello,
I am new to the gold prospecting thing, but it has always been a interest of mine, since I was a small kid playing in our local stream pretending to find gold.
I'm done pretending and ready to start looking for real, probably panning to start just to get my feet wet. Is there gold to be found in my local creeks and streams or do you believe it would be a waste of my time to explore these creeks and streams?
Thanks for your time, And Gold luck to everyone!
Keith

I have looked at some maps you may find some there but you have a better chance up around Lawrence county closer to the glacier drift area

I may have to check that out,I was born in Lawrence county, I grew up in Portersville, right near Mcconnells mills, and Moraine state park.

Gold was found many, many years ago in the mountains on the North end of the Gilman Community not too far off of (West of) Highway 219 in West Virginia, so you may have a chance of finding Gold in Allegheny County! Highway 219 runs from Elkins to Parsons.

Hey Keith, I live in Wexford. If you go up to Greenville and take Rt 358 west there is a GPAA club. Take Barry Rd south it's about 1 mile before the Ohio border. You will see the GPAA sign and camp on your right. This is where the Glaser drift ended. Small stream and you might run into a couple of guys to give you some tips. Dig Deep and you will notice that all the gravels are different from other streams in Pa.
