    I’ve seen guys finding gold all the way up in Northern VA. No nuggets, but there’s plenty of it you can find it. There’s a very public park with guys who will backpack in all their equipment lol

      Yep the gold belt runs right up to DC. Nuggets can be found in many areas of the gold belt but they are rare.

    Hey I love your videos man excellent info and production. I have one minor suggestion to bring your voice volume up and music volume down 💕. I was turning my volume up and down but really enjoyed watch the time elapse then like oh he's talking gotta turn it back up! Lol I really appreciate you taking the time to share this please make more!

      No, definitely has not been fixed. I had to keep dealing with my eardrums being blown or not being able to hear you in all your videos. Great content but the audio issue is unbearable.

      @@shenanigans8apeach I am sorry about that. It really should be fixed in most of the newer videos. Nick has taken over on editing and he is far better at it then I am. For any I make in the future I will not add music.

      Thanks! It was a decent short day, i think the total came to a little under a half gram, for a few hours of dredging. This spot produced decent gold but since then the second possible spot has been producing better gold so we have been focusing our efforts there.

    Is there any places in Virginia that you can go and pan for gold where you don't need a bunch of permits

    • @theprospectinggeologist4347
      @theprospectinggeologist4347  3 роки тому +1

      You don’t need permits to pan for gold in VA. The rivers are open ground to prospect just make sure you access from a public access location like a boat ramp. Other then that everything is pretty much private property and requires land own permission but there are no permits from the state or anything like that.
