Hi, I have recently caught the itch for finding some real gold. I live about ten minutes from villa rica georgia which was the site of georgias first gold rush. Im not real sure if there is much gold left in the area, but would love to find out lol. I have been trying to convince my dad to go panning with me to hopefully create a new outside hobby that is fun and rewarding. Is anyone familiar with the area or know whether or not there may be any gold left over? I guess if someone knew for sure if there were any real gold findings in recent history there I might be able to convince him to go. I showed him some videos on panning and he seemed interested lol

If I were you, I would join a local club or the GPAA. They will give you a place to find gold, information how to process it, advice and tip equipment and techniques ect...

I guess it was hard rock mined, but could there still be gold in the many creeks and nearby rivers?

Yes lots of gold found near Villa Rica, also a little to the north of there in the creeks feeding lake Alatoona. It Corps of Engineers land so panning only, but lots of Au left in Ga

Greetings. I'm also relatively new here and panned for the first time just two months ago. You can learn a lot by just reading here and YouTube, Gold Fever, etc. although I recommend a local club if available. My first trip yielded no color because I was in the wrong place but did get black sand. I took the advice here of using small lead shavings from fishing weights and practicing to see if I could hold them. That gave me confidence and my panning is now MUCH faster and I'm getting fine flour gold. The harder part for me was learning to quickly distinguish between mica, pyrite, and gold. Not having gold in my sample made it harder and for that reason I did consider buying a bag of dirt. Once I started digging in the right place (same river) and found gold, the confusion was gone.

Good luck!

do you think it would be concentrated in villa rica or could it be anywhere in the county? im not sure if it has to be exactly around that fault line or not. I will tell you that if you are familiar with the area I grew up in whitesburg and I swear on EVERYTHING that when I was a child I found a white rock with a huge chunk of gold on it right behind the elementary school. I was a kid and didnt know anything about value back then lol but I will never forget what it looked like. I took it back to my grandparents house and never saw it again, but that was carroll county also. I now know that it was quartz

Welcome 1849,
wanna get the old man out? Join a club as Oakview2 said, get some gold yourself and show it to him. He'll be packed and ready to go before you get into the truck. Nothing like visual aids to get the intrest moving!

Good Luck!
