Pennsylvania
Dispelling the myth that there is no gold East of the Missisippi River, we have prodded and
poked into formerly forgotten areas to determine where the gold might be.
North of us, in the Wyoming county of Pennsylvania is the Susquehanna Valley, draining
the Appalachian Mountains in it's Northern-Most range, out of New York, and through the
Pocchanos, down small and great streams, assumedly drawing down the "Glacial" gold,
left here in the gravels and hardscrabble drainages.
Hogwash.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There is gold here, yes.
And plenty of it, if you have the patience to recover it.
It exists, however, in the sandstone, iron and slate deposits in layers, left here as former
seabeds, unknown depositions from that age which pushed up the Appalachians during it's
crunch with Africa, result of the same collisional process now going on with the Himalayan
Ranges in India.
In practical terms....
The rivers run typically high and fast in the upper reaches of the Susquehanna, and are
dammed below, resulting in vast sedimentary lakes, someday which will be mined, for
sure...But not in our time.
The net result is a narrow band of gold bearing gravels in the contributing streams which
could be dredged...possibly an ounce a day for hardy souls.
The bulk of the gold however is super fine, still in depositon-in place-, and can be drawn
from the materials thru grinding, etc., or as we have maintained all along, recovered from
the flowing waters nearest the contributing deposits as free gold, and further downstream
as gold-in-chemical- forms, with carbonized recovery.
One of the first appearances of gold we found were small flakes and nuggets that sat in
the filter bases, failing to pass into the filters themselves, when demonstrating the "Test",
3-filter unit we offer.
The gravels and rocks are loaded with the fine gold there, and recoverable thru filtration,
after dredging up the heavies, collected by separate pump and filter from the sluice waters
flowing off a Keene unit, very much like our other recoveries in the vast gold belt running
South into Tennessee from Washington DC on this side of the USA.
Biggest problem out here is access to public lands... Usually confined to boat ramps,
bridge crossings,public parks, etc.
Best bets are with public campgrounds, private-for-rent sites, and the like.
Some entertprising soul will locate and extract from the river rocks in these upper reaches,
which are handily classified for you already, and certainly, it is retirement money for the
patient.

Coker Creek- Tennessee
Here is a place with unequaled American beauty, tucked into the hills that the locals call
"Mountains"...a place very rich in gold, but very backwards to miners, if you intend to set
up shop there.
The properties richest are tied up as National Forest, with road cuts in the area exposing
great gold seams, fairly bursting with disseminated gold, overlooked by mining folks, in
favor of that "Gold Stuff" the size of basketballs that all seek in the streams, etc.
Frankly, the area abounds in powder-fine gold in abundance..nearly all deposits are old
sedimentary beds of some kind in host shale, sandstones, typical of the
Appalachians.....Most of it sailing downstream, and found as lower deposits, 8-12 feet
below most of the mountain bases, below the soil layers above, left as nicely classified
layers from all of the frantic hydraulicing activity during the gold rush they experienced.
I venture that 90% of the gold is still there...only the larger nuggets having been removed
and minted out at Dahlonega, GA earlier.
This means if you are able somehow to obtain these materials...you can sit on the porch
and sip Margueritas from limited efforts....But....... There is a veritable Army of agents,
pencilnecks and paperwork to wade through before, and IF, you get permissions to work
any of it.
The reality of it is most likely it is being held by interlocking selfish interests by government
and private interests till H-- freezes over.
Nonetheless, you can pan there with impunity on Forest Lands, dredge up to 3" with
permit, and take away limited amounts of samples, and well worth doing, if you're in the
area.
As to Water Recovery, via our equipment..the perfect place to operate, with NO PERMITS
Necessary!
