I talked to the owner of mtn creek gold mine today. He seemed nice and the photos looked amazing. Any advice or info would help.

Hummm A little more information would help us to help you. Exactly what are you asking for help with? We can't give you an answer if we don't know the question.

Looks like a typical pay to play panning operation. If you are looking for a beginner's experience and a few grains of fine gold - why not?

I am curious about NC pay to pan sites as well. Think I might go down to lucky strike mine in Marion and rent a highbanker and some dirt unless somebody can talk me out of it. Judging from a search the forum consensus seems to be that Thermal City is better but they don't seem to be open in winter.

Check out the Grubbin mine in Georgia they have a pay and play too. and they are open year round. My mining buddy wants to go there this winter. My avatar picture is grubbing gold.

I went to the Crisson Mine in GA, once. Panned a five gallon bucket and took a $15 bag of concentrates home. It was fun. Kinda like fishing the hatchery pond though. Not nearly as fun as prospecting, but far more productive for a newcomer like me.

I was just wondering if anyone had been there. And was wondering if it would b worth my drive. I watched some videos on the place and it didn't seem to b a hotspot.

The old saying is Gold is where you find it ! Maybe thats a new saying that I just made up . lol . The thing is you will never know , if you don't try

lando, you'll never find it sitting at home.
if the pay isn't too much to play, give it a shot.

The gold there is very small and not much. The price is right though. You're better off going to lucky strike. I actually believe the gold there is better than thermal, but you can do quite well sometimes at the $10 pan all day area.

My take on these places is your going for the fun of it , don't expect any , and if you get some color it's all good . I don't think many of us on here expect anymore that that . Expecialy in a pay to play spot .

Those places do let you in the river for a fee. Pan or dredging.
