If you can find a creek around here with sufficient water. I have heard Dutchmans Creek has some gold in it. There are several old mines in this area, so some of the creeks do have gold. Getting landowner permission might be difficult tho.

Thanks Chuck,

Are there any NF there ( I will look) I think you can pan on NF land, but not use a machine. Thanks again,

Kevin

The nearest thing to a NF is Kings Mountain National Battleground. There's no NF here, thank goodness. I know of about 6 old mines withing 15 min of my home. Unfortunately, most of the landowners won't allow anyone on the properties, or they are going to be bulldozed. For one of these old mines, it wouldn't be bad. Too many kids like to "play" there a little too much.

Good luck when you come down. I'd show you around, but I can't get off work.

Thanks again Chuck. You never know, maybe I will stumble across something.
