- Gold is everywhere in the Mid-western USA! If you know how to look for it, you can get gold every time. Check out this video and you will learn how and where to find gold in the central heartland of the US. The key to finding Midwest gold is in locating those spots where the forces of water flow will concentrate the gold that occurs from the glacial drift material which came down from Canada. Inside bends of streams, behind boulders, false bedrock clay layers, places where the streams flow over hard bedrock are all good, but any place like the upstream end of gravel bars where the effect of water flow concentrates allows heavy materials like gold will form pay streaks. Most of the gold found is fairly fine sized but occasional nuggets as large as wheat grains (and slightly larger) are sometimes found. Gold quartz specimens are also sometimes found as well. The small size of most of the gold makes it harder to recover. That means care must be taken in processing the gravel. We will also take a look at the individual states and the places where gold has been found in the past.
For those who want to learn more about Prospecting and finding gold check out my book, Fists full of Gold. It’s an encyclopedia of everything on the topic of prospecting. It’s available on from High Plains Prospectors. (Affiliate) You can find it at:

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I just started last week in Indianapolis, In. So far I've found very fine specs of gold the size of a grain of sand. I'm panning a small creek behind my house, working a gravel bar.
Gold in your own backyard! that sounds exciting.
Fantastic video, thanks for taking the time to make this video, Chris...!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
You are very fun to listen to, thanks Chris, for all the great entertainment and Info!!!!
I appreciate that!
Excellent presentation Chris! You are Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a fascinating subject! You have the demeanor of a trustworthy person and teacher! Thankyou !
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Good video!! This gives me hope for the upper Midwest!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great informational and entertaining video. Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video, I'm in Iowa and very close to the skunk river. Im just now learning about this and am doing as much research as I can.
Good luck to you in your efforts!
Awesome video as always Chris! Question for you. What state would you recommend for a beginner prospecting/metal detecting for nuggets. I live in Oregon but looking for public land for prospecting
I know some guys who have detected some really nice gold out towards Baker City in Oregon.
Definitely going to try my hand with a hand dredge in someof these creeks and small rivers. Thanks for this awesome video!
Best of luck to you.
I get gold every time !!! I’m in Iowa !!! Great video!!! I put a video out every week about it 😄
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Chris
In my opinion you left out a very important mid-west gold state and that is Michigan.
Not only does it have imported placer gold and diamonds from Canada, Michigan is one of the only mid-west states that had/has gold lode deposits.
Michigan has native copper and it’s also famous for iron.
In its early history small amounts gold came from copper and silver ore, but in the 1880’s lode gold in quartz ores were discovered and particularly the Lake Superior and Michigan mines were so rich in places that specimens made it into the Smithsonian.
The Ropes mine a silver/gold lode ran for 14 years and produced $647,792.
Good point. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Chris, your videos are a great resource for me. I have 4 gold claims at the base of Treasure mountain on the Sutter Creek in Tulameen BC Canada. I've found me.
Sounds great! Best of luck in your prospecting.
Love the videos. There are several working load mines in Michigan today. Oneis a sulfide mine the eagle mine and the back 40 mine project is an open pit mine. They have estimated that the back forty deposit will produce 512 million pounds of zinc, 468 thousand oz of gold, 4.5 million oz of silver and 24 million lbs of lead. There were several working gold mine that produced as late as the 80s. If you could do a video of the geology of the Great Lakes region and how to prospect the hard rock deposit that would be amazing.
I'll put it on my list.
Michigan is a major producer of gold. It is the byproduct of the copper mines.
Good video Chris !!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph I always do !!!!!
Thanks for the video
You bet. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks, great advice. Just before this cv economic development. Someone asked me what I would like to do. I replied do some gold prospecting and make it worthwhile. Yes buying your book awaiting for it.
Sounds great, I expect you will enjoy the book.
Hiya Chris, hey great video! I live in South Louisiana, you didn't mention Louisiana, but it's ok lol
We have gold here, but it comes to us from Ouachita River. And I think the gold comes from the Ouachita Mountain's in Oklahoma.
Way down South about 25 to 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico lies a small town called Gueydan, it's pronounced Gay-don, during oil expiration and the 1940s, gold was found north of town 2 nuggets of gold was found on the Shaker. Which is a machine that takes gravel out of the drilling mud.
The depth of the well was 900 feet. So yes I think you can find gold in every state in the U.S.
I love watching all your videos.
I hope you have a great and blessed day. Keep those wonderful videos coming, and I keep on liking them.
I'm in Cajun Country.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
In '69 a kid in Princeton, LA found an 18.2 carat rough diamond in his backyard. :-) Was gem quality IIRC.
Who the heck knows how that got there. Great Lakes kimberlite pipes, maybe -- washed down the river to Louisiana?
I’m in Ohio and I find a small amount of flour gold almost every time I go do some mining. Thanks Chris great video!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the knowledge! I'm in Illinois and about to start panning!
You can do it! Good luck to you.
Any luck??
Can you do a video on gold found in Virginia back in the early 1800's Virginia was the 3 highest producer in gold and I'm finding quite a bit in the pyrite belt but trying to get more knowledge of the area. Thanks great videos as always
I probably wont get to that any time soon. I'm on the west coast and dont plan on any trips out that way.
I'm about to explore some creeks in the Flint hills KS. Lots of hills here and bedrock is shallow. We'll see how it goes
Best of luck to you in your efforts.
quick question Chris im in north east ohio .. cleveland area and ive come across alot of jade and what seems like sometype of impact glass and im pulling some really good gold from both and also not to mention imperial jade and a slew of other colors in large amounts but i digress . what would you recomend as a means of finding some1 to confirm any of these gems or gold bearing rocks ? thanks love the show
I have no idea who you would contact.
Where would you recommend looking in Minnesota? Also anywhere near the twin cities? Loved the video but didn’t catch that. Thanks!
Google gold deposits of Minnesota. There is plenty of info.
Regarding IL, I've read that there was a claim of gold found in situ with quartz in Stephenson County near Eleroy. I noticed this was above the line where the Yavapai and Mazatzal provinces meet. Does the location of gold found in situ in Kansas also coincide with this boundary? I was wondering if there might have been some geologic activity that could point toward future exploration.
Lots of claims to various things are are not well verified.
Hey Chris, I live on the plains of Colorado, I know good gold is found in the hills but I was curious if all the dry creek beds might contain gold when they flash flood they are connected to run off from mountains but are 100s of miles away from the mountains. I went out looking around after our recent bout of flooding and see loads of black sand few rocks, does the gold sink way to fast with all the loomy soil and debris
Hard for me to say, the best idea is to just go out and test the streams themselves. Then you will know. You certainly would do better prospecting close to or even in the mountains.
Wisconsin sucks particularly bad. I find some tiny, tiny gold, but it really is just for the hobby. I've been prospecting for two years and I still don't even have a gram in my vile. But it's good exercise and I love the woods.
You are correct. The Midwest gold is everywhere, but there is only traces of it.
Well done 👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Chris.
Cheers Famo59 👍🤓🍺⛏
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi thanks for the video
I live in northern Minnesota and id like to do athletic searching with .y two young sons. We're into the outdoors fishing, hunting, camping just another reason to get out and explore. My question is there's been gold found hour north of me by Canada back in the 90s and the geology there was found to be where lava or magma I'm no geologist so bare with me. But tbe geology is difrent there difrent rocks thst were changed and apparently this different geology goes hand in hand with gold. Would it be worth time to look locally by me or are the concentrated spots in Minnesota be the only spots to focus on? Granted this is just for fun probably catch some trout while looking. Is it not even worth buying pans I guess or would a metal detector even work with all the iron ore where I live? Thanks for any suggestions and great video
Your description is quite vague, I really have no idea. Minnesota was not really a large gold producer, but there is some gold in the glacial gravels.
I am right in the middle of terminal moraine country in ND. Lots of gravel deposits. My brother said he has found color all over ND. But he said you'd have to pan every day for the next 100 years to buy lunch. There was a working mine in Barnes county. There are gravel beds along the rim of the Sheyenne and James rivers
Gold will concentrate in certain areas. You have to find those.
Hey I live in the midwest iowa Illinois and Wisconsin are there any silver deposits that can be recreational mined/prospected?
Not that I know of.
OK, there were some funny comments. Chris could you do a video about the southeastern states and talk briefly about the "private land" issues too? Thanks for the continuing great info. One of the first large gold finds was near where I live in Georgia. ;-)
I will do that in time, but I have a whole list of stuff I plan to do first.
@@ChrisRalph OH I understand, I will look forward to anything you post.
I find gold every time I go out. Quite a bit in Indiana and some in Illinois. My videos show it :) Found some decent flakes near Peoria. My biggest gold in Indiana was over 1.3 grams. I have seen 4 gram nuggets. If I find less than a gram a day in Indiana, it is a bad day. Great video. Take Care.
Sounds great. Best of luck to you.
I've found flakes on former coal piles...near universal......actually a friends..backyard...he found...i followed did'not believe it it was 25 foot up hill
Wow...gotta throw this in w t. Moral shroom season Comeing up
I’m in BG Kentucky, I’ve always been very curious about finding gold. I’d love to be able to go into a creek or stream in my area and pan for gold..at least I can say I’ve done that.
In Kentucky, the surface geology is not favorable for the natural occurrence of gold or silver. Most of the surface and near-surface rocks are sedimentary, and there has been no igneous, metamorphic, or tectonic event to allow the gold or precious metal to be concentrated in economic quantities. This is gold in some adjoining states. Kentucky is better suited for coal.
great vid really enjoyed this i tryed to join a club but never heard from them
Keep trying. All the officers of every club are volunteers and many are busy in their normal lives. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks
No problem
How about gold in the Empire State? Anywhere upstate or near NYC to find gold? Big fan, would love to see an episode on it. Or the East coast more generally. Cheers!
I'll look into it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
in illinois where i am at havent found much gold in my area st clair county
Its spotty and you have to be in the right place.....
St. Clair here too. I'm thinking about looking a little closer in these creeks for a diamond or 2
chris have u got roasting,smelting, sulfide video
Those videos are planned and coming soon. I'm glad you enjoyed this video.
southeast oklahoma hs gold as well, in the Ouachita mountains
You didn't listen to the video - there is a section on OK.
I'm in Missouri and I found gold in my neighbor's teeth
OK. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
haha
You’re in Missouri and your neighbor has teeth? Amazing!
I’m sorry but you walked into that one lol
@@logicalconceptofficial Hey.......I live in rural Missouri and I still have a few of my teeth ! Meth is a helluva drug ! (This post was entirely sarcasm !) But I do live in rural Missouri and neighbors with their natural teeth are a rarity ........so your not wrong !
Ig you live in st louis where human mining hasn't been outlawed yet..
Im originally from East Central Indiana and at one time I heard of a small but recently operated gold mine on the Mad river not to far north of Dayton Ohio. I was just wondering if you ever heard of that?
Thank You!
The only gold in Indiana is glacial moraine gold. Its not rich enough to mine profitably as a commercial effort. There were many old time "Booms" back in the 1800s in the Midwest but none produced much gold.
Do you have any information about New York? I live in western NY and we have lots of streams.
I'll look into it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi there-just curious if it would be possible to find gold along the Raccoon River or Des Moines River in Central Iowa at all?
Thanks.
I nave to admit I am not familiar with every stream in every place across the earth. Are they cutting through the glacial moraines that are the source of the gold?
@@ChrisRalph they might be-I was just curious, thanks for replying
I appreciate your state by state comments on gold recovery. I noticed nothing was mentioned about Michigan and the UP. I live in the UP of Michigan on the northern shores of Little Bay de Noc. I’ve been poking around on the shore cobble stone beds a little. Just wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks
Honestly I've never been to your area, so I don't have much to add.
Thanks Chris. I’m just starting out and kinda stumbling around. I did buy your book and in the process of reading it. Mining is a large part of the economy here.
What is the chunk of golden stone that flakes and is in layers! One that is the size of a human hand but is comprised of compressed layers and can be shaved and creates golden dust
Its mica, not gold. Mica is a very common mineral that fools people sometimes.
I've never been panning before and I just got my first set. I'm in Champaign Co Illinois and was going to go get some practice in my technique (getting to black sand) at a minimum. What do you think of the Kaskaskia river? Lots of farmland runoff but is a natural source. I've never heard of anyone actually panning in this area ever.
Listen to the video. The gold is in areas where the streams drain the glacier moraines that come down from Canada. I have to admit I am not familiar with every river in ever state, but I would start with the places where gold has been found before. That will give you the best chance of success.
I think the Vermillion in Danville area looks good. i do most of my mining in Indiana. Sugar Creek near Crawfordsville is not that far from you in Indiana.
I live close to Leroy and have been prospecting for about 4 years now. Your onto something about the Kaskaskian river. Would like to join up with you sometime and do some prospecting. Would also like to hit the Crawfordsville sgar creek area in Indiana.
@@jeffbravo9600 I've never been prospecting before and have recently moved to Illinois.. I've been into mining for years and would love to actually get into it. Maybe you'd want to meet sometime?
Please tell me.....possibly terre haute.....or surrounding vigo county?
Do some research on the internet and find out......
Was that mr Kyle T. ? a pretty succesfull missouri and ohio youtube prospecter(not comercially succesfull he just regularly gets gold pretty regularly) He said that right around when you made this.
I look at your videos like an acedemic course...i am very much looking forward to getting your book soon as i have the cash for it. I know books are some very important tools for any skill.
I watch a few other people as im trying to get as much info as i can ,as fast as i can...meaning as fast as i can learn the propper information and techniques and gain hands on experience .
Glad you enjoy the video - there is a little bit of gold spread over a wide area.
Can you cover positively identifying flour gold, sometime? I'm getting hundreds of very shiny, very tiny bits in my pan, mixed among black sand, but I have no clue how to tell if it is gold or not.
I just did a video talking about ID of gold. See: czcams.com/video/A2Ym_xwAqyU/video.html
I live in Kansas, and I've often wondered if in the northeastern corner, if there might be gold, there much more hills up there and areas that were glaciated
Best of luck to you in your prospecting.
Hey Phil check out the Pony Express Prospectors on Facebook they're in your area at St . Joseph, mo
@@robbiekramer7547 Will do! don't know if ill be able to make a trip out there anytime soon, but I will check them out
I'm sure you get asked this a thousand times but what do suggest a person do to get started in prospecting or what would be a good starting point I guess is what I'm after
Join a prospecting club near you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks man loved the videos by the way
Great job can you also hit Virginia and Kentucky Arkansas Alabama was great info
Thanks, I'll look into it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Where's the best place in the lower 48 to explore for gold ? I always wanted to try to find some... Thank you
Finding gold is the goal of the prospector. The best states are in the west, as they have the richest gold deposits. However all the western states have their strengths and weaknesses.
@@ChrisRalph Nevada or Montana?
There is good gold in Ohio. I've been panning gold here for years. Good pickers turn up sometimes. Nuggets once in a very great while.
Yes. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Is it possible to find it in iowa ? Like rivers or creeks? Bedrock? Is there hope lol
Did you actually watch the video or just see the title and ask a question? The video shows maps and gives information. You should watch the whole thing because the answer is yes.
Do you know about any gold near Alton, IL?
No, but there is gold in IL.
It would help if you would have used cursor / highlights etc. on maps ?
Thanks again
Ill look into that. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I would like to try looking for gold in my area of Iowa. But I am on my own, any recommendations for good resources, books, or videos on how to learn to pan for gold and how to find a good area to look for gold?
Join a prospecting club.....
@@ChrisRalph unfortunately there’s no one around my area.
Did you ever find anywhere to go? I just moved to fort dodge and I wondered if anything might be up here...
How would the rock formation or color look like to know if there is gold in that area
There is no one color for gold. Its just not that simple. Streams that cut through the old glacial moraines are what you are looking for.
Michigan was not mentioned. No gold in The Mitten State, or only in the U.P.? Love the videos!
No, its everywhere as the video says.
There is gold in the North Platte and South platte rivers here in Nebraska
yep.
Oh I'm close to lake superior as well if that means anything
See my other comments to you. .
I live in a town that was founded upon rumors of gold. There is an old gold mine not far from me and galena has been mined not far from where we live. I live on a river front with a steep hill. I found a granite rock with a silvery substance but I'm not sure what it is. I looked at a survey and saw how there is much activity under the soil on this hill and it said small amounts of gold has been spotted in my back yard in the slew part of the river. but it has never been mined. I hope I find some.
Give it a try and see. Best of luck to you.
What areas of Cali were you in for it?
Way up north in the Motherlode region..... I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Where does one start to look in north dakota
The gold that has been found in North Dakota is mainly in McHenry County, is the sand and silt of glacial Lake Souris. Small amounts of gold occur throughout this area. The deposits in McHenry County were delivered by the glacier, and then sorted by glacial melt water. This gold was delivered to North Dakota during the ice age, probably about 15,000 years ago. The ultimate source of this gold was northern Saskatchewan. This is basically the same as the rest of the Midwest as shown in this video. Do some research on Google.
How about Tennessee's gold and Virginia and surrounding States?
There is gold in Tenn. and Virginia.
I'm in Missouri there's some gold and silver mines a few hours away.
You are talking about the lead - zinc mines? They have a little silver and only traces of gold.
@@ChrisRalph no these are actually gold and silver mines... There's actually a town called silver mines because of the old mine.
Interesting - I looked it up, and found it was known as the "Einstein mine" The mine is situated on the right bank of the St. Francois river, in section 12, township 38 N, 6 E. The deposit is unique and of special interest in that it consists of a well-defined vein of silver-bearing galena traversing Archean granite. No such deposit occurs elsewhere in Missouri or in the Mississippi valley. It produced silver and lead, and minor amounts of copper and zinc.
@@ChrisRalph that's fine.
Great video is there any gold in Oklahoma
a little, not much.
Actually placers gold in some rivers. And some in the soil at certain levels.
Very true.
How do you find places to pan in Iowa?
Join a prospecting club and talk with some locals....
Is there any in Illinois? I live in Chicago, but I would travel anywhere in the Midwest being close to me 😎❤️💪
Yes there is some gold in Illinois. Watch the video, there is a map in it.
great video. I grew up in the Midwest. Never knew.
There you go, and now you know! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Good Video,
I live in Brown County Indiana. If interested the book “Gold and Diamonds in Indiana” is available from the Indiana Geological Society.
OK.
I live in Cincinnati Ohio so Claremont county has gold?
Gold is widespread in Ohio, but I've not tested every one of the many counties in the state.
I’m in Kansas . Where is a good place to go for a few days to camp fish and pan for gold ya think?
West or east? Or north?
Wyoming?
Do you have to get permission from the state to look for gold in the rivers in iowa
You dont need a permit from the state, but you have to get permission from the land owner. The Volga River and its tributaries will also produce some fine gold. In Lyon County, a small and short lived gold mine operated along the Big Sioux River. Flour gold can be found in Jasper County on the South Skunk River. Gold can be found in Turkey River, which covers several counties in northeastern Iowa.
Larry Kelley I’m glad I was scrolling thru the comments before asking the same question. Can’t wait till spring, good luck in your endeavors.👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks I find gold in wayne county east fork white water creek Off 70
Midwest gold is found in many places.....
I’m in northern Wisconsin and I found my back. Lol
A back is a good thing to have.
I’m from Indiana and yes there is gold here too not much but there is some
exactly true.
Is gold in the east possible ? Like Delaware
Yes there is gold in the east but not so much Delaware. Do some research on Google.
Michigan? i was told about clay layers near the along flint river
Yes Michigan has some gold, pretty much very similar to the other states in the area.
@@ChrisRalph
Thanks for the reply Chris! Enjoyed the book! In your next book include more geology/deposition information. I want to Thankyou for putting this stuff out there, and making good information available to everyone. Have a good day!
@@ChrisRalph
Also that's what I was told, I was thinking about the copper deposits in the U.P and maybe since there are so many metal deposits there may be something hard rock potentially.
@@erok268 - There was hard rock gold production in Michigan as late as the '80s:
geo.msu.edu/extra/geogmich/gold.html
www.mindat.org/loc-19768.html
Lots of prospects over the years but apparently only one mine that was significantly profitable.
I suppose the surest bet in Michigan would be black sands deposits on Lake Superior beaches, with your Gold Cube or what have you.
This is too funny you directed me here and wouldn't you know a fellow Ohioan kick started the video, there's a lot of glacial outflows most including myself never thought much of it.....but I've changed my tune on the matter, with low water levels during dry summers and some good guidance I'm ready to start my prospecting journey.
Sounds like Fun - best of luck to you.
@@ChrisRalph Lots of old river beds too, I found one about a foot and a half down in the bank, took a test shovel out of that and produced color so I'm having fun.
Is it possible to find any kind of gold in East Texas?
Llano river near Austin has gold. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Nw Arkansas have glacier gold?
Is that what my maps showed?
No but I found gold here hmm crazy.....
I find gold every time I go out in southern Michigan.
Sounds like fun. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I have 5 grams of fines and pickers from southern Minnesota 😊
All gold is beautiful.
I dont think you mentioned Michigan in your video. I was specifically listening and looking for Michigan although I saw it on the maps many times as I watched. The glaciers deposited a lot of fine flour gold all over our state. I find it almost everywhere so far.
I made that video a few years back and dont recall if I specifically mentioned Michigan, but I should have. Certainly Michigan is part of the Midwest.
@@ChrisRalph Thanks for the reply. I have been searching for everything I can find on Michigan's gold history.
Well I am in the center of the state Oklahoma and I think I have a lot of things that I n know I have found gold but I am color blind to some colors but I have see gold every where to and I am just trying to get to the last step
gold gold
Sounds like lots of places to explore.
And now I'm working on this once gold mask that was make out of gold jewelry, golden dragon pieces like it was made for Kings and Queen's almost out of a story book but broken it while I was cleaning it but it is a good thing now the hard part is getting the Red dye out of the pieces cuz Oklahoma red dirt is hard but being color blind is even harder cuz I say everyone else is cuz for me I don't see all the colors so it doesn't matter to my eyes with the red dirt but I am still trying to get it notice cuz if everyone else doesn't want to believe me I done all the test from acid, I ordered and baking soda, vinegar,map gasing it and since I know it now I can show it to them all but no one even trys to even pay attention yo to the processes but i am stil trying
Can you do a video on Nevada?
I will put that on my list and do it this summer. Generally, while I frequently get requests from folks on where to find gold in their own backyard, these are not the most popular videos because no one is interested in places outside their own backyard. If you live in California, you are not interested in where to find gold in Montana, etc.
@@ChrisRalph I live in Esmerelda county
Anywhere in saint Charles MO? Gold?
Check the map in this video to see where the Canadian glaciers reached.
@@ChrisRalph yes of course thank you
I would like to know if anybody has looked in coal spoil bank for gold ???
Give it a try and then let us know how it goes.
Nice black sand on the west side of Lake Michigan in Illinois. Maybe…
Illinois has glacial gold.
Indiana north of ft Wayne
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
chris you can add kentucky to this list thanks for your videos
There is some gold in Kentucky.
There's gold everywhere. I know ,I live in illinois an there's several rivers or tributaries that have gold. Glaciers exactly.
In the midwest, yes - because the glaciers went all over. But in other locations outside of the midwest, its not everywhere.
I only found gold at jewelry shops😁...and i live in central california.
There is gold further east in the foothills.
What's the best way to get gold off of a clay bottom stream?
I'm from S.E. Wisconsin where we have what's called flour gold.
You know, the floating gold! Lol
We have tons of clay here in Georgia. Waiting for Chris's answer! :D
You can scrape the surface of the clay, bu then you have to liquefy it to extract the gold. Stir in a lot of water to liquefy it - its work but there is no easy way.
Drill and paint mixer is my most efficient way to break it up. But use a high water to clay ratio or the gold will not settle to the bottom of the bucket through the slurry, being powder fine. Best to drizzle the mud through a really long sluice with moss and carpet.
there is stil gold in u s a where to find reply please
Yes there is gold in the USA. No, I will not list all the places as it would take whole book to list them.
Gold jhonson wellint
Like jhonson matthey
Sorry, I speak English.
What about Kentucky? Any gold?
very little.
