Is there any place open to the public for prospecting? I know that GPAA and OSPA have claims for members.
I know of Bill's Pure Gold but haven't been able to track down an address yet.
I think I once read that pretty much anywhere a road crosses a stream is considered public. Does anyone know if that's actually true?
I'm in Charleston, WV. I'd love to find some places under 3 hours drive away to plan a day trip soon.
You need to be a member of Goldprospectorsspace to add comments!
Update: I found a spot in Ohio using google earth. It was an area that was open to the public with a small creek. It's very near the Scioto river which is known to contain gold. After many test holes and much panning I did manage to find a very small amount of gold. Wish it wasn't 2+ hours drive away.
go to chilicothe go west on rte 50 to Bainbridge second redlight turn north on 41 follow about 4 miles church on right hes on left across road....this is the directions that were posted on the southern ohio gpaa facebook page for bills....i havent been there myself to verify but would say they are pretty good
