Hey guys,
New to the forum! Actually this is my first post
I am forever working and don't get a lot of free time but I really want to dive into gold panning a little more. I live Rockingham County in North Carolina. Since I am always working, I wanted to ask a question to some more experienced folks about finding gold in a creek that runs through the city. I have a creek literally next to my house and I've tried looking at old Fire Insurance Maps to see if the creek existed at the time of the maps (1700s and 1800s) but still came up empty. I don't know if that is a useful tactic but I thought it might give me some insight as to whether or not the creek was man-made or natural. I suppose it doesn't really matter if its connected to a larger natural source but I really don't know.
Anyhow, would it be worthwhile for me to hunt a small creek running through the heart of a small town (Reidsville, NC). If anyone wants to look, you can see the creek by going to Google Earth and typing in the search bar "Courtland Park, Reidsville NC) and you will see a small creek running through the park. and continuing on to connect to a larger creek known as Little Troublesome.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
