Susquehanna river is best chance at gold in northeast pa.
I think we just met at peters creek ..if you want to do a buddy system let me know definitely would do some work with ya ..
@@andyhyde4711 any luck there

One of my fears is not to go too deep in the woods bring agun for bears and weirdos
My father owned a waterfall in Pennsylvania that was pretty famous for it’s mill history and gold content , I walked up the river at 13years old now 25 years ago and I think I found where it’s coming from but his mineral report was 19.9% gold in the solid rock he grabbed and sent to a lab , the property was going under a drill rig for supposed to be motherload gold and. The flood of 55 came and washed the rig down the river , we found mostly flour gold but there was nuggets found in NEPA
Grace mine was owned by Bethlehem Steel and was not a gold mine, even though I believe gold was found among all the other minerals that were mined. A family member worked for Grace mines back in 60's and always told my father that the gold found helped pay for the operations.
I live in Lancaster county and pan gold out the creeks with great colors in most pans
I live in new holland I'm new to this I have a Mennonite backround we should link up I'm really good at connecting with the farmers
@Shane Jones I am sending a email sorry I shouldve check soiner
I live in bucks County do You know any places by me where i cam try?
@@ericmartini2980 you should see if they have any old maps to see any creeks or steams that haven't been changed
Secrets 😉 Ill tell you found flakes in creeks on rocky bends down stream of steep cliffs on creek bank
Gold and even copper has been found in Adams county, Pennsylvania.
Gettysburg, Hunterstown, Bendersville even in New Oxfor, there has been minut amounts found. Best areas are near Hunterstown and the mountainous or hilly areas of Adams county.
My high school teacher (who was into everything) used to put some sort of a box in one of our local creeks in Pennsylvania and would leave it there for about a year. The next year he would harvest the box and get about an ounce of gold from it. He would put it back in and do it every year. I know the name of the creek but don't want people running over and destroying the place looking for gold. Unfortunately, like a mushroom hunter he never disclosed where he got the gold on the creek.
Would you know what kind of box he was using? I'm not a prospector but it is interesting. Thanks
Sounds like my old science teacher Mr. Atwood.
Sounds like a basic riffle sluice. I've seen them permanently made into a creek bed, with a bolted down steel riffles, with miner's moss (carpet) beneath them, to hold the finest gold.
@@ElementofKindness Thank you for that information. I've tried to figure out how he was finding anything in that creek. There is nothing published about gold in that creek, unless it had a different name at one time.
@@beebob1279 No problem. Well, if he was letting it go that long in between cleanouts, and it wasn't getting completely clogged up/covered over with gravel, it sounds reasonable. You just need spots that slows the water down enough for the very heavy gold to fall out and collect, while all the other lighter materials continue to wash on past.
@@ElementofKindness I'm more curious about panning for gold than actually doing it. I would like to know what kind of set up he used which he never said. All I know is that he put this in the creek and every year he would retrieve it and so on.
Any idea what he may have used so I can learn about it?
I live about 4 miles from the Cornwall Iron mine and took a tour they said that the mine operated for 220 years until it was flooded out by hurricane Betsy in 1964. They said during the 220 years of operation aside from Iron they also. Inedible 40,000 ounces of gold. They said it was in the magnatite.
That can happen, that's why black sands (magnetite) should be treated and analyzed for interstitial gold.
Nice I'm from Philly and been to Allentown, Quakertown plenty of times,subscribed and liked
I think there are a few places in North Jersey where very isolated gold pockets could be found. I've noted the presence of all the associated minerals, including quartz and chalcopyrite. There are also several very old copper mines. These are all in quite tiny areas, relative to modern commercial deposits, so it's not a surprise they've been overlooked.
I'll be doing some micro-processing of small samples once I get my smelting equipment and let you know if it's there.
If you find signs of metamorphic rock or thermal activity, you'll be on the most likely trail for finding gold.
I think I'm gonna try panning in Ohiopyle and the laurel mountains in western Pennsylvania. I've been researching quartz deposits and other markers like that.
was gonna go this weekend
There are placer nuggets of gold and platinum in many of the creeks nestled between the mountain ranges. But they're so widely scattered, you can never be sure where it could show up!
I live in landisville pa, in lancaster County.
Do you ever go out yourself around here, prospecting?
Iv found lots and lots of pyrites up in the coal mine areas just north of Lancaster, lots and lots of quartz as well,,, pa has lots of iron,,, in the southern counties,, several iron smelters such as Cornwell furnace,, there is a road called gold mine road threw dauphin county south of indiantown gap and there are lots of old takes of planning gold in any stream,, supposed to be glacier gold
I am a well driller in PA I have question for you , do you fine gold on top of bed rock or in it? The areas you talked about the rock is what we call Shist.
Im in Reading pa trying have a lil gold rush thing going on
I’m in Reading too, any luck finding anything? Thanks
I see this an older one, however there used to be a gold club in pa near York pa. Had their own little island. I kept looking at what was found in pa. In perry county there was a well dug that produced gold. There's also iron stone near the cumberland county border. ...
Also..the theory was Placer drained out of the susquehanna...so trailing up above where the susquehanna broke through the mountains, I checked further north...Potter county which did produce a few flakes near galeton.
Aye I'm from Lancaster county :) Their is gold in all creeks am I right? I know some great spots with lots of dark sandy areas. should I be searching these areas? Lots of rock crevis deep all over
I'd be looking upstream from those sands. Dime size gravel. Im not pro. But the gold that has eroded out is small. I have seen some good specimens as big as Q ball. I grab up any igneous or metamorphic rock that im permitted to. I crush. I have 8 specimens in 2 years. Visible gold. Ones got silver with it. I see color in pan. But can't open a business on it. Im looking for keepsakes. Theres really high grade pegmatites. Theres quartz groups and conglomerate quartz! My specimens are all in small veins and inclusions in milky quartz.
So what im saying. Get the quartz. Scrutinize it. In my experience the quartz can also be greenish. But not high quality. Not a gemstone. I get 3 things from this. Fossils. Minerals and artifacts all in 1. Instead of hunting micro gold. Some still exists in quartz ice age crap from Canada. I think you will be happier going same route. Follow the quartz.
I live in this area and I find it hilarious that the area you pointed out as a gulch that would end up down in the valley near the river is a huge high security military depot. Mearly everything North of the 76 Turnpike including the marshes theres is fenced off government land. Ain't nobody panning for that gold.
I live in Allentown and I'm looking to get started. Can you help me?
In Pennsylvania it is against the law to pan for gold on Public Lands, which includes any navigable waterways. Private land only with the permission of the land owner.
Allegheny National Forest ranger's told me I can pan there, as long as we do not destroy.
Only if it's not casual you can pan just no.sluice or set up to get it for you
Could I find placer gold at codorus state park in Hanover PA?
How about around lake erie and the western parts of Pa I cant seem to find any information, but then I maybe looking at things all wrong too
He said that western Pa is pretty much void of gold, but it could also be that no one found it yet
He doesn't know much. Northern PA has glacial till gold. NW PA has a lot of glacial gold. Look for glacial terminous places which you can see on a topo map. There is a beautiful double glacial terminous near Slippery Rock and a single one near Penn Line in Crawford County. I have gotten gold at Penn Line.
Im in Erie Pennsylvania 16510 . I got a pan last week of 8 colors fine gold & 2 flakes.
I looked for your video on New York but have not found it, is there a title to look for, a playlist or something? I only find these states around it lol
New York doesn’t have that much gold in it, at least I think.
The whole Harrisburg area down to Hershey is limestone mines,,, arials you can find many of the old pit mines🤘
I know where there's gold but it's on gvt property they let you fish but I don't know about gold mining. Near York PA
Yeah. Cant really anywhere on state lands. Salt springs state park will permit. You need to contact first. Only state land I've been allowed to detect or pan on. They are funded privately by estate. And good people running. Check out.
That is the mighty Susquehanna 🤘🤘 there are streams such as the swatara creek feeds that river,,, which states many mines north,,,, head waters has a 80 water fall only can be found if you know how to👍 there is gold all over bit it's very hard to find,,,, I k ow a few found a spot, I have yet to find the right spot,but it's out there
Susquehanna river at hunlock creek now this river Goes up to Binghamton you think it will have gold in it
Im a beginner what is the best way to learn about minerals
How about blair county
I'm wanting to get started panning in PA. My question is this...Is it legal to prospect on public lands in PA or not? Lol. I'm getting mixed reviews here on TH-cam
it's legal to pan, but don't undercut banks. and make sure that you're state park doesn't have such activities prohibited (I have yet to find one)
And up in NEPA?
I'd like to know about Northeast Pa. I guess the wealth there is in the shale for gas and oil deposits. Whoever owns the mineral rights owns that resource
Like in near Erie
Do Bethlehem have gold?
So lancaster is the best place to mine gold in the rriveers
Im in Erie Pennsylvania 16510. Lots if fine gold your right
Thanks for your report
From harrisburg area, if any one looking to link up let me know. Lots of hiking n buckets get heavy to get the good stuff aka must be able-bodied to keep up! ;)

How can i find gold in jordan please?
Wish you still made content. Hope all is well
Delaware river carved Appalachians, drained into gulf in Mobile.
I live in Allegheny county PA so I’m out of luck........ nothing good here
Nice oscilloscope!
One law is you can not disturb the natural flow of a stream like digging and dredging
Because theirs a lot more gold
@@stephenhorner884 Because when you do that you destroy the ecosystem. There's more to this than just gold
OOoo I’m in quarryville pa lancaster county.
Guys i grew up mennonite I live in new holland in Lancaster I'm a newbie if your willing to work with me I can get you on these farmers streams I know how to connect with the farmers I can get us on there streams or rivers let me know we can link up
Anyone hear of any gold found in windgap pa near appalachian trail ridge

I'm here in Harrisburg if anyone wants to go
“Owl Creek” occurrence
You can't claim in pa
"the no name mine"
Any*
I hope 🙏 someone in the know will respond to my questions , please ! For the last year , I have been obsessed with the thought of finding gold in the Pocono areas. Or better yet, A town off the P.A.Turnpike ( N.E. Extension) named
Lenhertville where there is a campground named "BLUE ROCKS" . This Campground has a HUGE field of giant white bluish boulders that were left over by Glaciers .
From what I understand,that's a good start looking for gold. This boulder field leeds up to the foot of the Appalachian mountains. HELP ! Can anyone help me with this ? I am 61 , and want something to look forward to. I am not expecting to hit it big, but I am trying a way to get myself out of a DEEP Depression I am in, and it's not getting better each day. This could help me. Thank you.
Come on brother tell me where the gold
I mean the sun was out after a flood I was catfishing and ground glistened with gold
Likely Mica. Gold glows and only sparkles if its crystalline. That's really rare.
Well fbi sure found some lost gold bars
According to them they never found any gold.
If you're referring to the gold bars from Dents Run, Pa. The FBI did not find it, it was Finders Keepers USA treasure hunting company that found it. The FBI just confirmed it with their advanced equipment, than took it to a disclosed location.
It has been found by the Finders Keepers USA treasure hunting company. The FBI lied to the public. Many photos and some videos were taken as they hauled the gold and silver away in armored trucks. There was a total of 9 tons of gold and silver combined.
