Hi mspaigow I used to live in fredricksburg Va.and I know that Lake Anna state park has a gold panning demonstration and I believe you can pan there or at least get some info.Good luck.

The Central Virginia Gold Prospectors (CVGP) will meet on 18 April at 10 AM. The location will be at Claim #1. Later there will be a common dig, panning demo and a cook-out. You may access (www.centralvirginiagoldprospectors.com) for further info. Hope to see you there. One of my friends found a 3/4 oz. nugget there some time ago. He will probably have the nugget with him on Saturday. Also, you may log onto (www.VA-Gold.com) for Virginia gold info, etc. RuffandTuff.
