Gold Prospecting In Pennsylvania's Susquehanna River: Hunting For Treasure

[@ethanwilliam9944]

I absolutely respect and appreciate the fact that you are not loading the pans with gold but instead, you are giving us a genuine depiction of what's actually found. So many videos are questionable these days, it's refreshing to see someone get real life results for a change.

[@Klesh]

I make these videos not only for entertainment but also for a personal archive of what I have done. So yeah, messing with the results would just be messing with myself. No need for that.

That smell is not rotting organic matter, it is in fact sewage.😊

[@michaelm7422]

Born and raised in Pennsylvania common lived here 80% of my life, we have property in the Tunkhannock region Wyoming / Bradford County ....... All you're going to find on the bottom of this river is a bunch of contaminated Sh💩T, junky rusty cars, occasional human remains here and there, and a buttload of dead fish from all the damage the mining industry has done over the last couple hundred years😂😂😂😂

[@davidfairfield651]

I have lived in Tunkhanock for around 8yrs while I worked at PandG and I have fished the Suskie from Laceyville to Falls over those years and not one person I ever met talked about gold in that river. Monster channel cats and carp but never gold. I lived on Tioga Street and a few blocks from riverside park. Getting a kick out of seeing a town I no longer live in and I love on KZbin. Good luck with your gold panning and Thanks for your video of an old town I miss dearly

Im loving these PA vids. Im excited to get out there and try my luck

Good luck!

[@ShawnRyan-g7h]

Well good luck! You'll only have to move about 8 million yards of dirt for a gram😂😂

[@wadenulton9243]

I grew up waterfront on the Susquehanna in Hallstead. You mentioning that smell brought flashbacks of great times!!! I tried panning a creek upstream of Tunkhannock and found of all things, shreds of stranded copper wire. A friend walking the riverbank found a blasting cap. With all the quarries in the area that explained where the wire came from.

[@AndrewKazmierski]

Thanks for checking out these NE Pa locations, not many gold panning options here in the North East!

[@davegambill824]

Oh Yes The Susquehanna. The grossest moving body of water. Fun to metal detect the banks from Pittston to Wilkes-Barre. All sorts of madness is in those waters.

[@tightsnatch7485]

There's a lot of metal in the Susquehanna, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, iron, tin, gold and silver..... And above all else carbon. Locals may think it's dirty, and it is but it's historical. Enjoy it.

[@michaelm7422]

My grandfather used to tell me come back in the 1930s and 40s when he was a young lad working on his father's Plainsville Farm, They spend their lunch break swimming in the Susquehanna River and every morning around 11:00 a.m. the then Pittston Hospital with dump all of their human Hospital waste into the river 🤭 so he would see tonsils, gallbladders, amputated limbs, you name it, come floating down the river as they would be out there swimming 🤢🤮🤮🤮

[@WalknTalknStevnHawkn]

@@michaelm7422haha what? No way… wouldn’t most of that kind of waste get incinerated?

[@auntqueffaxxx5247]

Nice vids in PA. I drive that bridge many times a week. We have two small creeks on our property that dump into the creek you were in in your 11 minute vid 8 days ago. We do have flour gold in our one creek for sure as we have panned in. Keep up the local vids they are great!

[@Klesh]

Thanks. Every video I make is technically local (to me) I appreciate the comment!

[@robertlint4742]

In NC i used small screen ,placed white towel in middle of stream with rocks on corners. Over a foot deep. When i screened above towel ruby dust collected all over it. Rolled it up ,rinsed out in 5 gallon bucket. Heavies fall ,light stuff floats away. Gems ,gold and other metals drop out immediately. Good luck

[@justinlalugski2083]

Live along the Susquehanna river a little south of there near Pittston. One fun fact I recently learned that kinda blew my mind, The Susquehanna river is like the 3rd oldest river in the world!

That’s hilarious. I remember you and Pauly on the Pinkerton claim video but not knowing who you were. Full circle complete.

[@mrmtruckermax2]

Yeah, that's Riverside Park. I was down there recently when the water was way down. That bedrock is I good fishing spot. We see lots of people on that bedrock in the summer.

Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@iamterrible4203]

I grew up in Forty Fort right along that beautiful river. I remember just hucking rocks being kids and my brother yelling to me, so i go over and he says "i guess this is why they tell us not to swim in the river", there is a pipe with sewage, shit, tampons, and u would occasionally here a toilet flush. I dont know how many houses were hooked up to it butnit was eye opening to say the least. This was late 80s.

[@fhorst41]

Try the convergence of Peters Creek & Puddle Duck Creek in Peach Bottom PA. That's in the very southern part of Lancaster County. The gold there is mostly fine but also pin shaped bits. It comes from decaying granite. Parking is pretty easy and close to the convergence, which is near a small bridge. Bring a sluice box if you have one, as the water flow and Creek depth is conducive to this method.

[@AndrewKazmierski]

I would try this area, coming from Manalapan NJ, just over 2 hours drive, is Dorsey Station the area to park?

[@fhorst41]

@AndrewKazmierski Yes. Just off of Peach Bottom Rd. There are easy ways down the bank near the little bridge to the creek directly by the parking area there.

[@AndrewKazmierski]

@ Thanks, that’s very helpful, will get over there when it’s not too cold, Happy New Year!

[@pastasbeard]

A little north of my stomping grounds, but not super far. There are a few areas near the MD line that supposedly have some decent gold in them. I'm fairly new to this but I always carry my detector, carrot, and panning stuff with me. Nice find on the garnet too, I've been keeping my eye out for them, from all the research I have done, they are pretty plentiful SE PA around Delaware and Chester Co. Stay safe out there, and good luck!

[@creekjonsun]

I lived in NEPA for 13 years (Wyalusing). You need to read up on the glacial ressession. Glacial Drift gold is bigger and was dropped by receeding glaciers, I did more detecting than any thing else.Shoe buckles, buttons are the usual finds. Colonial residents stashed their money to pay the Kings Taxes. Mostly bartering was done for needed items.I did find a musket ball (around 70 caliber.). A lot of old basements to be detected. don't forget to detect the walls too.

[@robertlint4742]

Research where old yard apple tree grew that you could see from bedroom ,kitchen and living room . They buried money under apple trees! Old out houses ,people lost or tossed !

Used to live in Tunkhannock right next to the river down from where he is but i was told you have to go more up north on the river to find the good stuff

[@Klesh]

Yes on the glacial maps there are more areas north that show more gold deposits. As far as gold concentration, you'd have to check by doing some prospecting.

[@tdthib5530]

Have a picture of a stream that is run off in Delco pa. Wondering if it's worth the effort or not

[@johnrusso682]

I grew up in the area and yes that is sewage from up stream homes along the river and pollution from the P&G plant only about 10miles up stream. I would never eat fish from that river.

[@DAdamTrammell]

Here's a product idea for you. I saw in another video that you have a bunch of scrap lead. Perhaps add small pieces to tailings or play sand and market it as a training aid. Learn to pan without the expense of buying and possibly losing gold?

[@Klesh]

If lead wasn't toxic, I would consider this.

[@DAdamTrammell]

@Klesh ha! Great point!

Im in indiana Pennsylvania. Hey so when you find gold in a Pa spot, like ya said, its always sooo fine. We have such old gold here, theres ALOT of it, but its micron gold and like you found, some slightly bigger, but itd be cool to see how you'd do if you bring a small wash tub and use a decent surfactant. As you know, its so fine that if you're getting any gold to stay in the pan, youd have waaaay more ifnya broke that surface tension.

If I'm not mistaken the State Forest Lands and State Game Lands are off limits for prospecting. If you're just panning recreationally and keep a low profile you could probably get away with it, but I'd double check the regs for State Land.

It's true. For example here in Colorado (not far from my house) in the 1850's a guy found a quarter ounce in his first pan in Raulston creek (a place called gold strike park) I have a video on it here. That's crazy to think about, and a good reason to keep looking for gold. They didn't get it all
