Prospecting In Kentucky!

[@OverlandOne]

I live in Kentucky and I know there is gold here. Most is not comercially accessable as it is about 5,000 feet under the sedimentary stone layers. But so many people think that since gold is not comercially viable, that there is no gold to be found on the surface, which is not true at all. This video is good evidence of that.

[@OverlandOne]

@@geraldwegener8376 That is most likely very correct.

[@andrewmosley2588]

See I fossil and geode hunt here in KY mainly in Pulaski county and the Lake Cumberland area. And I’ve always wondered if there’s any gold to be had in the creeks and rivers that KY has thousands of miles of. Lake Cumberland alone has more shoreline than all of Florida. There’s something to be said about that much shoreline and water. I know gemstones, fossils, and artifacts can be found in abundance. Very cool. I’m gonna have to get some panning equipment and start looking for gold when I go out.

[@HollerHomestead]

I too rockhound the area is there a good spot to get around actually lake Cumberland that aren't 50 ft steep banks

[@dimitripopovgurlukivich4166]

Lol that is ludicrous

[@andrewmosley2588]

@@dimitripopovgurlukivich4166 what’s ridiculous? Look it up. Lake Cumberland has more shoreline than all of Florida. It’s the largest man made lake in the country.

Hey Boris. Nice video. Good to see someone panning Ky. Going to start messing around at it myself (newbie) just for R&R. Don’t think there’s much on this side of Ky except bugs and snakes but worth a try

[@nhragold1922]

That river sure isn't an eastern river silly. There is no manzanita here lol

[@couzdogable]

Some chunky gold. Nice job man 🤘🏼⛏🇺🇸

[@garyanddoris6022]

I'm a prospector, I live in Kentucky, you would foolish to think there isn't gold in Kentucky.....

[@tompowell6723]

As my Father would say; ' You have something to say, then speak up and be heard!' Holy God rest his Soul in peace.

[@magausausa]

[@jjprospector9170]

[@kalebdillon7264]

What part of Kentucky was this

[@borisdoesthings]

Boone county, head to Middle creek right off of the Ohio river, there's placer deposits there.

[@danielusa998]

Sweet

[@JM-wc2kv]

2 hr drive ill half to try it out. Id like to know exactly where this was. I have metal detectors to

[@KentuckyBornNBred]

Can you find John Swifts silver mine for me ?

[@WilliamLewellen-k2i]

Is that you property, WMA, or private property. How can you find places to go without getting into trouble with anyone. Seems like everything I look up in Boone, Campbell, and Kent Counties are WMA, or private. Can you help?

[@johndalton1748]

Hi Boris, I just moved here from Folsom CA. Was just getting into panning as a hobby there. Is this for real? I was under the impression that gold was not to be found in KY?

[@mpk6664]

Gold can be found along the Ohio river. The tributaries and KY river might be an interesting hunting area.

[@carrollsanders9376]

There are Volcanic plumes full of gold and Uranium in East Central Kentucky you just have too dig two miles down.

[@DanielHunterUSA]

Is that a public place ?

[@cadenskaggs6892]

Is there a permit required to prospect this creek ? I’m in Florence working and would love to do some prospecting while I’m here but haven’t had any luck on google search about what permits are required

[@cadenskaggs6892]

And is it restricted to panning only or can I bring a small sluice ?

[@borisdoesthings]

I haven't had any trouble with any rangers so far, but i have only brought a pan with me... I suppose like with every other prospect - if you stay out of their vision both of you will probably breathe easier !

[@cadenskaggs6892]

@@borisdoesthings appreciate the reply! I’ll keep that in mind lol

[@pearljameric]

Think there is any gold in western KY?

[@borisdoesthings]

If there's bedrock, i'd say it's worth a shot. but stick to rivers they tend to have the most reliable markers for wether there is gold there or not. Rivers at least you find SOME gold. wether its tiny or not really depends but creeks you'll be lucky to FIND anything and the " good spots" usually only have tiny stuff so i'd stick to Rivers with visible bedrock. Google maps is your friend.

[@JOSEPHMATTHEWHOLLAND]

Seriously gold in kentucky I've found it in Denver before but Seriously kentucky any around the Cumberland River Barkley lakes or dams or ky lake or dam?

[@24nissan0]

[@gregerisman211]

[@gregerisman211]

[@kenyatasims6991]
