Gold Prospecting in Maryland

[GoldhuntingMD]

First off, I wanted to say hi to anyone reading this thread. It is my first post here on treasurenet and I was hoping for some advice. I am in the baltimore county area and was wondering if anyone in Maryland knew of some places I could try out panning. I see there is some areas near DC and I will likely check them out at some point. I was more looking to see if anyone knew of some areas near baltimore county I could check out?

It doesn’t have to be baltimore county, that would be best but areas at least close to it?

There is a gold belt that runs from Georgia, through Carroll County, through Harford and into Lancaster Co, PA. Check out the web for Maryland resources. The farther south you go, the bigger the gold gets. Here in Harford it's hard to get and very small.
