Looking for somewhere to pan in NC

[flash11569]

I have never panned before and my gold pans will be here in a few days. Anyone know of a place for me to pan around the Raleigh/Durham NC area without getting shot or going to jail? Thanks, Jon.

I'm fairly new to it myself, I recently joined the gpaa and for nc the areas they have listed are pay to dig, where you can go and pay for dirt or dig in certain areas, all seem to be open to the public. I haven't tried any of them yet. Other than Uwharrie national Forrest most likely places to contain gold are on private land.

Join the nearest GPAA group. We have outings every month plus we have access to some really good private property! (And always on the lookout for more!)

Home Page Don't let the name fool you. We meet in Kannapolis, NC.

(There's one in Aberdeen, NC that's closer to Raleigh.) However, I don't know who active they are.

We are a super active group. You can prospect every weekend and even often times through the week if you want through us.
