Hello all. I've been metal detecting for a few years now and just got into the prospecting game. I've gotten permission to enter an old gold mine in the eastern part of NC. I went out on Thursday and checked it out. Did a few test pans in a nearby creek and got 3 or 4 tiny flakes in each pan I did. Brought a 5 gallon bucket home and panned it with the same results. Do y'all think it would be worth my time to sluice the creek? Next question...the gold that I found is only 2 to 4 inches under the surface of the gravel and sand. About a foot down is clay...and I mean some MEAN clay. Is my bigger gold going to be deeper? The last time this place was operated was in about 1910 or so. Help please for the rookie. Thanks a bunch!
