I have found some very, very teenie tiny specks in Beaver Creek, Menifee Co, Ky (Frenchburg). I'll send you a sample if you'd like to pan it. Small gold has also been found in a small creek in Stanton and Clay City Ky. Geographically speaking, Ky is gold challenged.

Weldermark got it right on Indiana......

I have a friend in SE Indiana who owns a "gravel pit" right next to a river. I'm thinking the gravel is glacier deposit....would there be any gold in the pit area?

 

[weldermark]

If anyone is interested in trying this place out, give me a shout. I'd like to go but I don't have any equipment except for a pan.
