Hello, just joined the forum, 9/17/2019. I live in Pennsylvania, Southeast region, slightly West of Philadelphia. I am very new to prospecting and have stuck my pan in a couple local creeks but have not found color yet. I would really like to get down South or out West to actual gold country. Life and scheduling do not permit that currently so, I am concentrating on South central Pennsylvania, York and Lancaster counties, where colors have been reported. I like the thrill of exploration and the idea that I could possibly find something that was brought to this planet by meteor/asteroid. If I come across a stream worth futher investigation, I will probably invest in a a sluice but for now, I am only using a pan and classifiers. My wife thinks I am nuts, and ridiculous for oogling every rock formation, culvert and stream we come across. We hike in some local state/county parks that have all the signs of promise, such as, quartz, black sand, mineralization in rocks/quartz. Just wish it had that last item we are all looking for.
