new to the forum. I understand there is some gold in Pennsylvania. Is there any slucing going on? any groups doing it?
I have diving experince but nothing in this realm.
 
yeah man! pa prospecting is alive and well!the glacial moraines are in your neck of the woods,penns creek has gold , now dont exspect to find large amounts, but you can score some color there,enough to keep you going back any way. check out glacial maps of pa ,dcnr, it generalizes where the glacials left off ,and began to retreat, good place to start!then correspond what streams drain, or better yet,ones that cut these areas on a northerly coarse , when the glaciers were here they stoped up northerly flowing streams and redirected them south, and with that the glacial gold washed south, then when retreated the streams returned to there natural northerly coarse, and in doing so gives the possibility of a enriched (redeposit) of glacial gold. penns creek is one of these.
 
I’m not familiar with Penn's creek. Also, I’m totally new. I’ve never pan a sing pan of dirt. I’ve never seen gold in my life that wasn’t in a jeweler’s case. I have interest but not any background, knowledge or gear. Was hoping to find a group or club.
