Hello everyone! I'm new to the prospecting world and have done very little panning. I have access to a really old net work of streams on private property that is in the inlaw side of the family. Some of the springs are seasonal and rarely have a drop of water during mid summer, but become very much alive after a god rain! Anyway, as I said, I am new to this but have always wanted to get into this field and have plenty of fun with my dad. I live in the up state of Greenville, SC and unfortunately live in an apartment and want to rip the last bit of hair out from apartment life. I hope to learn a lot from you all and hope to become good friends with you all as well! God bless you all!

glad to have you here. if you are just getting started youtube has tons of great videos and this forum has a lot of info as well. im in north Carolina so im not sure how much gold sc has but i know the upstate part has decent gold. you might be able to find maps of old gold mines in sc. good luck.

Thanks guys/gals. I watch youtube for TV, HAHA! I just ordered a 3200GPH sump pump I'm going to try and make recirculating sluice with it. I live very close to Tiger River and I'm not sure if I can legally dredge there or even use a sluice box there. So I'm going to take buckets and take them to my dad's to run it. I know their is a mining operation on that river farther done near jug factory road, so I know there is gold in it. Plus, the streams on my inlaws land is a tribute to that river not far from that mining operation. I am definitely going to stay here for awhile. Hope to make a lot of friends here as well. Do you have a thread here for the laws in the states and or counties that can be used as a reference.

we don't have a section for laws but try googling sc mining laws. that might put you in the right direction.
