You may be able to find small amounts of placer gold in Ohio. I do not think that you can find enough tomake it worth your time and effort. Good luck!

.. Depending where you are in ohio is to how you go about looking for the gold. i live in stark county so i am on the end of the Glacier till zone ... lots and lots of sand and debree(sp) to move ( not unlike other gold prospecting projects ) it just seems to be more spread out here in my area .. not very concentrated.

Second .. what are you going to be using ?? just a shovel and buckets .. a sluice .. a high banker .. a dredge??

Last .. How much are you Wanting to find? in ohio if you find an ounce in a year you are doing Great .. the gold here is very very fine but with some small pickers, plinkers, and nuggets on occasions.

side note.. keep in mind it is a hobby not a get rich into early retirement process here in ohio ..

Good luck and and if you need any help shoot me off a message.

When I lived in Cleveland 40 years ago, the Cuyagoa river had gold in it. And just about every other metal and toxic substance known to man. You could almost walk across it. I have heard they cleaned it up some.
