I've sluiced and panned on a DVGPAA property (back when the club was active) a little distance east of there, in the Lehighton area.
Here's a picture of the "Lehighton Nugget", the largest flake that anyone in the club had come across in that river. Most of what we found was -50 mesh flour gold, and in very small quantities (not like the fine stuff in CO or CA). For the record, though, we were never getting down to bedrock (except on a property pretty far south and east in PA where the river flowed right over bedrock), so who knows what was deeper....
I still guess that if those folks back in the 1890's found gold they took most of it! (but I realize the article talks about gold in the rock, not free gold like we were finding in the streams.)
Cool ! Nice Find for Sure
If not for them saying they had it Tested, I Would have thought
they Found Fools Gold. I Used to be able to Walk out in My ally & Find iron pyrite
Sandwiched in the Rock.
yes there is gold, but as they say, not enough to pay.
