Any Gold Prospectors Here?

[Engalwood]

Hey fellas. New to the site and just getting settled in. I have had for some time now a nice little gold panning set. I have had about a year now and yet to use it My parents own some nice land out in Mooresville and have been to busy to even try and mess around with it out there.

Anyone ever go any place around here and look. I know your not gonna get rich, but its the excitement that brings me to it lol.

I am not a prospector, but I would start if I were as lucky as this guy that found a 12 pound nugget.

I pan for gold here in indiana. It's quite a bit of fun.

As soon as it gets warm enough, get out to mooresville and see if you can find some color!

I know there is gold here near or in Brown Co. I am wanting to give it a try some weekend when it warms up. If you are already into it and could offer tips I am willing to work to learn!

Check out an excellent little publication from the Indiana Geological Survey titled "Gold and Diamonds in Indiana". Really a nice little booklet for just a couple bucks.

We've been panning in California, and I bought a gold panning set for my husband when we lived there. But then we moved back to Indy and he never got to use it. Even in CA, you won't find much without a sluice box. He also does metal detecting. But we'd be interested in checking out a group.

I panned in the black hills SD when I was a kid. Actually found some flakes. I was told to make sure your pan is good and rusty as the gold tends to stick to it and not wash away.

I do have a small river slucy as well :-)

I panned in Salt Creek in Brown County this past summer with some family and friends for a few hours and we did find some flour gold.

Cant wait. Seaasons changing already SPRING HERE WE COME!

 

[elemonator]

I would like to do that, but I doubt that the Eel or Wabash Rivers would be a good spot to prospect.

Been to Salt Creek in Brown county. There is a little store up Salt creek road. From the SP. Don't recall the little towns name. But you can pan behind the store in Salt Creek. Also can camp for a small fee. The wife and I have also prospect in the Wabash. Where it goes under the bridge on 24 by Logansport. Crook Creek ranch just west of Logansport. Will also let you prospect for a small fee. Do a search for Indiana gold prospectors. There are several groups in Indiana.

I've never tried it before, but I would be up for that.

I would love to learn. I'm entering my 3 year of metal detecting and would like to expand my hunting.

I'm getting ready to post some prospecting equipment in the classified section if anyone is interested. I took this stuff in on a debt owed and will never use it.

I used to do some prospecting everyonce in a while, quite fun and a great rush when you get onto some good stuff. I sold out a few years ago though. I got tired of the driving. The nearest bullion dealer was 45 minutes away....sorry but I had to. It interests me very much, maybe some day.

Few more weeks and its time
