I have a friend who has been dredging a gold-baring river in upstate SC and has been finding much bigger pieces than this. Pretty nice sized pickers and nuggets. Thanks for watching
Awesome! There is absolutely gold in that area. You’ll definitely get on some. The green river, broad river and Pacolet rivers all have good gold in them, and they aren’t far from there.
That’s something that I want to do, dig dirt from a creek. I have run some pay dirt but just not the same as digging your own. Beautiful spot. Thanks for sharing.
I plan on doing more of that. I have been confined to stay near home lately, and there are no known gold nuggets big enough a detector will pick up around where I am. Even at the gold camps we go to there are rules that you can’t detect the piles of paydirt. I really look forward to getting back out to Arizona and doing some gold nugget detecting for that week in April.
Dont talk bad bout my name now, you dont know what it feels like when people just blow up with excitement only to realize I'm not what you thought - and you just wanna toss me down the creek and never see me again lmfao 😮😢😅😂 What you dont realize is that I always show up before the good stuff - that Au arrives and you realize that you see me first every time and the party comes next lol 😏😉 Sorry to drag that out im feelin my homebrew lol 😂 I'm a 23 year old Oconee native and have only now been really getting into relic hunting and prospecting. Hoping to be able to make more time and start detecting again and prospecting and relic hunting soon 🙏 so excited and I just found your channel recently and I love your videos - will definitely be watching more for the next few days lol. Nice to see how native people do it. You from GA or SC?
Hey!! Nice to have you on board watching! Thank you! We are from SC. Pickens county to be exact. We hope you enjoy watching our videos. We always have a great time out digging for whatever.
@@southernrelics digging time is the best time lol. If only I had more time to wonder/prospect creeks and sift for artifacts lol. Hopefully this fall I'll be able to get my hands dirty
Great video! I do a lot of panning around mid south Carolina saluda river area you had the right signs should have done a little more test panning but you'll get an easier reveal with a black pan ..also you should try a micro dream mat in the banjo pan great for micro gold recovery
I am new to gold panning (couple of months in) have been hitting it pretty hard couple of days every week and every weekend, found gold in NC, quite a few creeks in between saluda and savanna river, nothing in saluda. I only tried little saluda and richland creek but I did find a quartz vein jutting out the side wall of a cut made for the highway to run through. Need to get up there and get a sample. Unfortunately I haven't found anything in mid south carolina or anywhere in south carolina for that matter worth running through a sluice or panning. Very very fine pieces and two very small thin flakes. If I'm finding small gold in these creeks, do you think there are areas of the same creeks with deposits or paysreaks worth working? And are there any creeks you would be willing to share the location of that are worth working?
I will say the broad river in SC is a gold bearing river. Nice size gold too. You can look up some tributaries and creeks that run into it to help find good gold. I usually spend my time now at the LDMA/GPAA claims now that I’m a member.
I will answer what I know. In SC public waters are free game to look for gold. You don’t have to have a permit unless you are on national forest land, and their laws are strange. Private property is best
It’s called a gold bucket rig. There are several different models. They can be purchased from Thermal City gold mine in NC. Here is their email. info@thermalcitygoldmine.com
No problem thank you for the content, hey man I live in good old SC, know any decent spots, I'm out towards Orangeburg area, was going to try the broad river in a month or so see what happens, was going to try up more north then the zoo, got any tips?
South Carolina, great gold

Thank you for watching.
Wow
New Hampshire prospector, here. I'm relocating to Landrum! Any gold in those local creeks? I'll be looking
Awesome! There is absolutely gold in that area. You’ll definitely get on some. The green river, broad river and Pacolet rivers all have good gold in them, and they aren’t far from there.
Very cool! I always enjoy your content brother.
Thank you my friend.

It’s so much fun. I hope to be back at that spot soon. Got a busy holiday season planned.
Good to see you finding gold !
Thanks. I’m ready to get back out there again. Probably after thanksgiving
I have buckets full of garnets from panning near hagood mill stream all the way up 178 in all the streams. no gold found
I haven’t panned many of those streams. We did some dredging years ago north of Hy 11 and found a few fly poop pieces.
I would love to see some videos of you using the legend to find gold nuggets. I'm sure there would be alot of interest in that.

Would love to try gold panning. Congrats on the gold
Thank you. It’s a great hobby.

I’d love to do some prospecting over that way. Good suggestion. I’ll have to use one of my black pans when I hit that spot again.

Oh, have you had any luck in fairfield?

Never been there.
Where you at in South Carolina? I assume closer to the mountains. Wish it was around here in Charleston.
Yes we are in the foothills of the mountains here in SC.
Sling a canteen cup on your belt for scooping water into your classifier
How can I start panning for gold in the Charleston SC and areas around here Do u have to have licence and can I go to any water to pan????
I will answer what I know. In SC public waters are free game to look for gold. You don’t have to have a permit unless you are on national forest land, and their laws are strange.
Private property is best

I would throw them back and let them get bigger 😂
😂 that would be nice if it worked that way. Thanks for watching
Little piece means head up stream
What is that rig? Got a link? Awesome video!

U looking for native try Santee Cooper sc and have at it.
Yeah I bet there’s loads of stuff there. Including relics from the canal days.
Old bullets ,arrow and spearhead pottery all over there across 95 going over the water is a giant Indian mound sure is a place to visit.
Heck nice video sir, I subbed, lots of very useful information my friend.
Thanks for the sub!
No problem thank you for the content, hey man I live in good old SC, know any decent spots, I'm out towards Orangeburg area, was going to try the broad river in a month or so see what happens, was going to try up more north then the zoo, got any tips?
Yes the broad river is a super spot for it.
I live in the South Carolina Foothills. Are you basically telling me that it's not worth my time to go gold panning?😭
No. Get out there and find that gold. But just don’t expect to find gold like it can be found in the Arizona dessert. Go get that AU!!
I hate Micah - its irritating 😅😂😂😂 You see me less than 30 seconds before the au pops up. You need to see me first to find what your looking for 😂
That’s so funny! 😂 but you’re totally correct though.
What county are you in
Pickens County
