Panning in Vermont

[sabl3]

Hi all,
I am new to this group and I plan to do some panning in The Bolton or Waterbury, VT area. This will be my first time panning and I'm looking for some good areas to start so I thought I'd see what you guys could offer.
I read that you can find color in Joiner brook in Bolton, has anybody had any luck there? Also, I checked this website MRDS: interactive map by commodity and noticed a placer mine in Waterbury. Are the small brooks and creeks near it, worth checking out? Lastly, are black sand and garnet indicative of gold in a river? I'm reading conflicting info.

Any advice would be fantastic.
Thank you!

Try buffalo brook in the plymouth 4 corners. ALL thoes streams have some gold. Gold will always be with other heavies. Black sand garnet and lead are what i look for.
