Help a prospector out, PLEASE!

[charlotte49er]

With the airing of the Discovery/History TV show, "Gold Rush Alaska" and gold at $1400 an ounce, it's hard to find a place these day around here that my buddies and I can prospect alone. All these wannabe prospectors are just mucking everything up!

So I thought I would ask the folks here:

Anyone have water; Creek, Stream, river? running through/on their property? (This excludes you guys in Canada & Philly, sorry) but it doesn't have to be here in Charlotte. Can really be anywhere in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, even Georgia!

It can be you, your friends, co-workers, In-laws, Out-laws (Spouses parents), relatives, Aunts, Uncles, Sisters, Brothers, etc. You break the ice and I'll turn on the 'ol Herbstreit charm on them. (Works best with kids and women over 70 though. "Hello there. How you doin'?" :ihih: LOL)

My 2 buddies and I are looking for virgin (aren't we all?) water (OH! Water!:p) that maybe hasn't been prospected before or for a while at least.

We come equipped with Liability Waivers and the promise not to leave trash or holes behind. (After all, we want to come back, if we find some of the yellar stuff!) We also have lease/fee agreements if we do find a steady source of gold!

We would dearly love to find something around Yadkin, Pee Dee, Uwharrie or French Broad rivers' tributaries. Or, the Pisgah National Forest as long as it's on private land. If there is flowing water, we are open to at least look at it.

Please PM me if you know of any place! We are willing to knock on doors, but so far, our response hasn't been great.

That's just about the jest of it. One of my buddies got threatened with a guy toting a shotgun. Maybe he thought he was a "revenuer out fer his still!"

What kind of damage does gold mining do to the surrounding environment?

those guys are moving to the Yukon, so maybe you can but the ole claim of the original owner, they must have been getting close to the glory hole before the freeze came!

That was a pretty good show, but as most of those shows do, they way over dramatized things...

sounds like the huddle

Is it bad that this was all I got from this post?

No, I thought that every single time it was said on the show.
