[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 1591594, member: 2550"] I use to pan in Colorado. There should be maps on mining in Oklahoma. These will show if there is any and where it has been found. Take a metal detector,especially one that is water proof...you'll want to search creek and river edges. In Colorado, the old timers told me ...1st. Pan in a bend of the river. 2nd. Look for black to dark sand...don't know why. 3rd.Unless there is an enormous amoumt, get ready to spend a lot of time for very little to nothing. When I first tried tbis in Colorado, I thought I was a billionaire!!! Those pretty yellow nuggets, blinded my scientific judgement. At the end of the day I had half a Wal-Mart sack full of nuggets and was thinking where to build my mansion in Telluride. Sitting on the river bank I started to take a closer look and this is where my "science"judgememt took over. I knew,by closer examination this wasn't real gold...but Iron Pyrite...fool's gold. Arrow heads.....as a kid I took a 5 gallon bucket to a cousins house in S.E. Missouri and could fill it up. Especially after the field was plowed. In Colorado, I could find pottery shards and a few other items...but my cousins would throw a fit every time I found stuff. They made me swear not to tell anyone where I found that stuff. They didn't want their farms confiscated and turned into a national park. Good luck and have fun. Cohiba [/QUOTE]
