Look for the village of Gold Mine, off of 443 that would be the logical spot, wooded, small mountain stream, don't be afraid of snakes though. Hunted it years ago with MD no luck.
FYI Gold Mine is State Game land, it is illegal to remove anything from PA State Gameland
except Game during Hunting season.
and remember: Don't remove trash from state game land either !
IF they tell you that it's OK to remove trash,
make sure it's OK to remove Buried Trash
you find with your detector also.
also Gold mine was not named for any Gold there.
The story I read, a con woman who originally owned a large portion of land
there created the story to get buyers.
either way yes there is a possibility of flakes being found in those creeks also.
(Stoney Creek)
but I Wouldn't travel into the woods (State Game Land) to look.
I'm not sure how far off the road you can travel before you are considered off
Pendot property & on State game land.
the creeks near the Iron mines would be good stating points, as gold was a Bi-product
also somewhere either South east Lebanon County
or South Western Berks
possibly cornwall area there was a gold mine, (or may have been Iron Mine that produced
enough gold to consider the iron the bi-product.)
that was closed perminitely
in 72 after Hurricane Agnes flooded it
These maps mark the mine and prospect locations, on Google Maps, of mines in the
Mineral Resources Data System
MRDS that mentions the word "gold" in any of their COMMODITIES, and/or in the ORE field.

(for the record, I didn't do it after I found out it wasn't allowed)
