LowPoint 1,225 Posted September 17, 2018 Welcome to the forum. I used to belong to the desert gold diggers when I lived down in Tucson before moving back up here in 2005. I hunted a lot down in the Greaterville area. Never had much luck down there until I moved back to my home town of Prescott. I always enjoyed the gold diggers gold raffles though.

The only gold to be found here where I live is in the jewelry stores, and the last time I took my metal detector in one of the store they made me leave!! The gold in South Carolina is in the north central to north western part of the state, and it's usually gotten with a dredge, sluce, or pan, not known for nuggets but it's not unheard of, I also go to North Carolina when I can get off work....ooops I didn't mean to use a 4 letter word , I'm at least 4 hours or more away from any placer gold so I don't get out to find it as often as I would like. Most of my metal detecting is for CW relics, coins and lost jewelry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leverite 12 Posted September 18, 2018 @Au Seeker I grew up in Franklin Tn alot of Civil war battles in that area. Never really looked for relics when i was living there . Would love to do that now im sure its pretty picked over but i am sure there are areas that havent been detected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My family thinks I'm a little crazy .. well, until I show them some gold pieces. Then they just think it must be lying around everywhere. I wish. Anyways, enjoy the forum. There are a lot of good people here. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
