What state would you go to?

[madmantrapper]

If I were to go to any state in the Continental US to pan and detect, which state would it be? I could go for maybe a month, I would probably tent camp (not necessarily in a camp ground). I am not as young as I would like to have been for this but who has time and money when their young?

To detect for a month, I'd have to go with South Carolina. I would love to load up on as much Civil War history as I could. Don't really have much opportunity to find it here in Illinois. Maybe a button every few years, but that's it.

Go where the most gold is if your want to pan and detect for gold, Nevada has the most gold, but weather conditions are not the best for heat.

I move to Pa. where there are many leads about buried treasure and ghost towns. I may run into a mod or two.

IF you went to Nevada and you got tired, you could go to vegas and look for that pot of gold

I am in Carson City, I just find it too cold! We can still get lower 30's at night!

Its true, P.A. used to be the route for entire payrolls for our troops in 1812, stationed along Lake Erie. I'm talking wagons full of gold or silver coins. There are several accounts of them being lost or some of the hold or silver buried to avoid capture. However, in at least one case it was apparent that a rogue ex-military officer may have launched his own expedition to find it and may have actually succeeded. It could be that some of these treasures existed but were actually recovered long ago.

There's another story of a platoon of the Continental Army having ditched quite a bit of equipment somewhere in the Alleghenies as they were being followed and it was weighing them down. It was never found and no leads came up that I know of. However, if you recall the story of the Winchester rifle that was found after 150 years still leaning against a tree in a National Park, that is TRUE. Nad if that can happen so could a bunch of cannons and other gear get dragged by horses into the woods and not be seen again for a long time.

Not sure about wagons of gold, but from Pittsburgh to Erie was trail because of French Indian war so yeah western Pennsylvania, forts and other passage ways look it up

It remand me of the TV ad before Christmas showing his wife working hard on the work out machine as his Christmas gift. Women all over our country raise Hell.

I was thinking out west or NC, SC. Never thought about western PA. I'm going to have to do some research.
