TAKODA:
I'm a chemistry student at Auburn who's been interested in Alabama gold for a while now. After looking through some ore crusher pictures, I came across this forum and eventually stumbled across your name and (unfortunately no longer viewable) pictures of Alabama gold.
After gathering a bunch of books and geology reports, I had figured gold in Alabama had been essentially forgotten about for the casual prospector, but alas, here's someone else that is looking for, and seemingly finding it!
What districts do you do most of your work in? I've had fun camping up in the Talladega National Forest with friends doing some casual panning and such. The forest is nice since its so easy to get to and you don't have to worry about private property. I've also been doing some digging around Lake Martin and exploring some of the old mines there.
What methods and tools do you use for gold around here? How did you get interested in this? Thanks, and war eagle!
