ky... a gold spot?

[olekyground]

Hey guys. Me and my brother in law are very interested in doing some gold panning and sifting but we don't know if key is a good spot to do so. If so can anyone help us on a good starting point? Thanks very much

" In Kentucky, the geology is not favorable for the natural occurrence of gold or silver. Most of the surface and near-surface rocks are sedimentary, and there has not been any igneous, metamorphic, or tectonic event to allow the gold or precious metal to be concentrated in economic quantities."

This is from the Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky:
