Always wanted to try my hand at gold panning/prospecting, What i would like to know do you have to have a claim and if so , how?

Hellen GA has a spot where you can buy a bucket of dirt, then pan out the gold. The hard part is finding a creek, that someone will allow you to pan from.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking to. I used to live in Ga., and fished a lot of trout streams up there and was just wondering if you needed any licenses and such to do it. THANX for your help.

I was mostly jazzin ya about Hellen, Ga, they actully put the gold in the bucket then put in the dirt.

however if there a lot of people that day you can try to find what the other tourist lost from thier bucket... " grins "
