“Pennsylvania, like many of its neighboring states in on the east side of the US, has a fair amount of placer gold that was left behind from glacial drifts thousands of years ago. While you are unlikely to find quantities that are sizable enough to get rich, there is certainly enough to interest the recreational prospector.
“There is a thriving mining industry in the Pennsylvania, mainly for coal and iron. Several of the large iron mines in the southeast part of the state have produced several thousand ounces of gold as a byproduct. Mines near the towns of Cornwall and Morgantown are worth investigation, since any lode gold production generally means that placer deposits can be found in nearby creeks and rivers.
“The better known placer mining locations in Pennsylvania are in York and Lancaster Counties, but all counties in the state have potential for some minimal gold occurrences.”

“To the east in Lancaster County near the town of Quarryville, check out the Susquehanna River and Peter’s Creek. Both will produce some gold, and even small platinum nuggets have been found here.”
