Panning for Gold |
We are going to teach a class on prospecting for placer and lode gold at the Log House Restaurant on US Route 44 in Barkhamsted , Connecticut on May 21, 2011 starting at 9:00 AM and lasting until 3:00 PM . This class will give you information about both placer and lode gold prospecting methods. Emphasis will be on placer gold although a great deal of information will also be taught concerning lode gold in NW Connecticut that has some of the most complicated geology in the world.
In addition to the classroom studies we will spend part of our time in the field examining some of the situations and places where gold can be found. We will also teach you some of the tricks of the trade.
Each participant in the class will receive a Garrett Gravity Trap Gold Panning Kit, Model #1651-300 as part of his tuition fee. This is a $29.95 value.

About the area:
Lode gold in the area:
Lode gold has also been found in the general area of Northwestern Connecticut by John Carter in East Litchfield during the construction of Rt. 8. The fact that there are few reports of lode gold here is more apt to be related to lack of looking rather then lack of gold. Finding lode gold is much more difficult then finding placer gold.
