99.99999% of all public areas have been absolutely pounded to death over/over again and only claimable when land status is reversed back to mineral entry. I've NEVER seen it happen once in 50+ years of gold grubbn' either. tons a au 2 u 2 -John
Wow, I can see that you are quite the optimist...aren't you? I happen to know that 95% of the private land in the southeast has not been touched since the turn of the century, and they still aren't working it and have no interest in working it either. They dont want anyone panning it, and wont work it themselves either. Geological estimates have shown that only 20 percent of gold has been mined in Georgia, and the majority of that land is privately owned. The river I am on is club property that has been in our possession for 15 years and its still producing really good gold, as well as the two other properties, the rivers are replenishing themselves with every flood.
I don't know why that with every posted question about gold mining and prospecting, you always have a negative response. What? Are you seriously threatened by people getting in on the action? Why do you insist on hitting everyone with negative responses? Try being a little more encouraging and helpful, there is plenty enough gold for everyone.
