To my amazement I found just under an ounce of gold not far from your location. About a year ago me and a buddy fallowed the Conemaugh river threw the hills after the Conemaugh gap and found gold right before the river runs into the Conemaugh dam at Blairsville / Livermore. Along the bends in the river you`ll find nice black silt and if you pan it out thoroughly you should find some gold. We found small flakes to large flakes and even some small nuggets. It is however very remote out that way and would advise to take a firearm due to the large game that wonders the mountain sides. I am also a Native of Windber and have heard recent rumors of gold being found in the Paint creek up stream from mine 40, not sure if it holds any truth but I have seen a few people while out fishing with pans and metal detectors poking around the creek bed. Hope this helps out and as always happy hunting.
