N.C. Where to go for gold panning and sluicing

[Sluicedog]

I'm planning a late spring trip to NC for a visit to a friend. Any gold panning area recommendations or areas I should check out for nugget shooting with my dectecors?-Sluicedog

If Your In The Vicinty Of Marion Try Thermal City I Had Good Luck Last Fall There And The Area Around Linville (Grand Mother Mountian) Streams Looks Promising

What type of luck did you have. Did you pan, sluice, trommel or metal detect at Thermal city. Did you work riverside with a purchased bucketful? I have all the above equipment except a trommel...I usually use the combo of pan & detector, or detector & sluice-SD

Hey John?Have you done any prospecting around the Polk NC area or know of anything worth checking out there?

John-How would you describe the stream, slow,rocky,small? How deep did you find those pickers-how much time? Would you recommend I use my sluice in an area the MD finds a signal or just dig the finds?-SD
