Gold has been found a few miles up stream. I live in southern Indiana and a friend of mine owns some land on Sand Creek. I have been doing my research, the bedrock was still under water quite a bit, I'll have to wait on that for a while.I was digging high on the bank where I had seen gravel and black sand brought in by the recent floods on the inside downstream side of a sandbar, I might of had some micron size gold in my pan, I'm waiting on my snuffer bottle to get here so I improvised with a visine bottle. I got something in the bottom of it. LOL!!! It's so darn small. I need to get a Jewelers Loupe or magnifying glass.
That's Awesome. Any gold previously found in the creek? As you may have heard gold is where you find it but a good place to start is where it has already been found.
Once I started finding gold I couldn't stop. I cant wait for the next fix. Its like a drug that you just cant shack. The thrill is just amazing.
Have you been doing research on where to look? Good places to start looking?

Thank you Casey, yep it was my first time the creek is up and running pretty fast couldn't get to what I think might the honey hole.
Hey Ralph Welcome to GPS. New to prospecting?
First time panning all I found was some black sand hope the creek is down in a couple days
