Great instructional video ... thanks for posting.

I haven't prospected the Ct river yet. There is gold in the CT river above Mass for sure as many gold bearing stream in NH & VT empty into it. The only gold that would make it's way that far south would be float gold. Very fine flat flakes. Although if you were able to find a location to dredge or crevice I would not be surprised if some nice flakes could be found. It might be easier to find gold at the mouth of the CT river where it dumps into the ocean. Look for black sand.
It really depends on where you go. Normally the rivers that have gold, only have it because the creeks carried it there. But that is not the case for the Wild Ammonoosuc River in Bath. You can tell when you find chunky gold. However it is possible for the glaciers to have carried the gold & deposited it as they melted in certain areas.
Right, all minerals belong to the land owner. Whether they own to the mid point of the stream or both sides. Only on State or Federal Lands, like our White Mountain National Forrest, where you don't have to worry about land owner rules. However there are rules that apply to those locations as well.
I also had heard about Andover having gold. I can confirm that there is gold in Andover.
I'm new looking for gold.I was thinking going to this place for looking
@Quarrykid432 Thanks for commenting. Records show the best gold in NH coming from the creeks & rivers that run to the CT river. That doesn't mean that there isn't gold in other creeks. But you can certainly pan brooks in the White Mountains that don't seem to have much gold. I stick to the rivers that have been listed in history books of finding gold. Then I may check the tributaries of the river to see if I can find glory holes that know one else has found.
@DigginAmerica Thank Bill. Best wishes for 2012
How far West, are we talking Buffalo? Unfortunately NY has very little gold. I know a guy from NY and he has found a few flakes but not much. Vermont or Ohio/ Michigan would be your nearest neighbors that have gold. Although you could always check around the Niagara River. Lake Michigan and Ontario and the Niagara river are on a fault line. Thought to be a source of most of Michigan's gold.
Best of luck and happy hunting.
I'm a Granite Stater an have a pan ready to do this for the first time.
it's a great hobby. Study the info available. It will help you be more successful. Happy hunting.
I'll be up on the Wild Am tomorrow. There is a property for sale at 1344 Wild Ammonusic Rd. Bath NH
I go xown to Ledyard CT. all the time just this weekend and did some research down there.
You can dig anywhere in nh and find gold. Theres just as much here as alaska. You just need to kno where to look. You don't even need a river. I even found some panning the town sand pit. Think about it. Gold is associated with quartz which is in granite... what state are we again? You wont get rich but i have found some good sized nuggets right in my own backyard.
@FunnyAccent1 That would be nice but since I don't make any money on the videos, (thanks ad-sense), my next investment is a metal detector. This is one of my first videos, taken with a blackberry. My other videos are with a Nikon cool pix. Not a great camera but an upgrade.
possibly but it can be tricky because photos are two dimensional. So it is hard to read the elevation. But I can tell you what I like about what I see. Or don't see. First of all it must be a creek that gold has been found at in the past. If not, don't waist your time.
Oh, I agree. However it really depends on how much black sand you have in your bucket. I use to always practice with a sinker. One area I pan has a ton of black sand. about 1 cup per pan. That is much harder to pan through as I have watched the gold travel across the surface. Could use a magnet to get the magnetite out but I always save it and go through that later. I never throw away my black sand. There are micro specs of gold and other precious metals in there as well.
VHS?
Hi Jim, I got the middle size sluice box at twin river today. Dennis wasn't in. Panned a little below the beaver pond dam.
Do you need a permit to use a sluice on the Ammonoosuc River? Or how about a high banker? I'd really like to plan a trip up there.
Well, I joined the GPAA and they sent the super pan with the membership. That makes 5 in all. Great Technique !
It looks like a good spot, my aunt actually got me looking here, though Ive been panning way more than her. I'm from Massachusetts and get out whenever I can, and am always looking for new areas to check. Do you know any waterfalls that is possible to check?
There are lots of waterfalls up in the White Mountains. But you may have to hike a bit to find just the right type which holds the gold. Unless the water has a back flo, most of the falls have big pools. This means that most of the gold will be right on the bottom covered by a lot of gravels & rocks. Each storm will push the lighter gravels & rocks out of the pool but as the storm slows down the pool will back fill with more debris.
do you have any luck in small creeks,or mostly river? im just wondering how i know if it is a gold bearing stream or creek
not sure if you can answer this but have you ever checked out the east branch of the pemigewasset river in nh or any of the creeks that run into it? thanks for any info
Hi Marc, a lot of people assume what you have. I use to feel that way about fishing stocked waters by the state. Truth is, that if you can access water with a canoe, you may fish it. If you have to walk on peoples property, you may not. What we are talking about is a persons private property, on which they own the very minerals we are after. So it is a privilege, not a right to access it. They only allow panning on the road side of the river because they have plans for the other side.
I have been to Alaska twice. Trust me, though there are some nice creeks with gold in them, NH is nothing compared to AK. There are a lot of glacial gravels in NH and there can always be some gold in them. Having gold in ones back yard does not surprise me either. Depending on where you live. Many houses are built along creek & river flood plains. However to find nuggets in your back yard, consider yourself lucky. Congrats.
Are you part of a prospecting club that i can join? i am located in the Lebanon area of NH?
If no one has ever found gold there, there probably isn't much. Could be a little. Depending on where you are & what is near by, I don't waist to much time with unknown creeks. It takes about a full season of panning at least every weekend to get a good read on where the best gold is. Creeks that have a history of people finding gold, the prep info is already done. Then you just have to find gold others have missed.
CT river sucks down in CT
What creek are you on? If it is the W.A.R., I know it like the back of my hand.
