I’m not looking to make any big trips this summer. I would like to get my hands a little dirty and go gold panning in North Georgia. The way the prices of gold has shot up in the last year or so, makes me want to get out and find some. Gold isn’t hard to find in Georgia. Especially for those that live in the gold belt that runs through about 1/3 of the state. I really don’t want to travel to areas where gold has already been discovered. I would like to make a new discovery and tap into a region that’s never had any gold found.

Really all of the states have some gold in them. There’s a good chance you live on land or own property that contains gold. Gold has been mined commercially in 48 out of the 50 states. Kentucky and Hawaii are the only 2 states that have never had any commercial gold mining to take place in their state. I’m not sure about Hawaii, but I know there would be gold present in the state of Kentucky.

At the moment I don’t even own a gold pan. I will need to buy a few supplies before I start up my gold searching expedition in the mountains of North Georgia. I may not get rich in my gold finding adventures, but it will still be some good exercise for me and give me a chance to get outdoors. Sometimes spending a little time with Mother Nature will do wonders for our health and the way we feel. I”m sure I will find a little gold this year. I just hope I can strike a gold vein that will pay for my bills for a few years. A lot of that gold is just out there waiting to be found. We won’t never find any if we don’t give it a try, so I plan to use my summer vacations this year on gold trips.
