A one ounce gold nugget will bring $2,000 to $4,000 on the collectors market.
Per a letter from the Department of Agriculture, no permit is needed for recreational
gold panning and gold prospecting in the general national forest areas, provided no machinery is used. Our gold panning and prospecting maps show many national forests with gold sites and tell you how to pan and how to tell fool's gold from real gold. Some people like to pan for gold at public rights of way where bridges cross gold-bearing streams.
A streak of gold deposit sites extends from near Montgomery, AL to Washington D.C. The gold was
placed there when Africa overrode North America about 500 million years ago. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Alabama were our main source of gold for 45 years before the California gold discovery. In 1837, the US Government established gold coin mints in Georgia and North Carolina, rather than transport the raw gold to the Philadelphia Mint.
The largest true California gold nugget weighed 54 pounds. A 195 pound mass was also
found. The 6,600 gold deposit sites shown on our six California gold maps are continuous from Mexico to Oregon and to the Arizona and Nevada state lines. All gold sites on the gold prospecting and panning maps are from official records.
