I have never had any problems with land owners although you should pay attention to the UNF boundary signs as this could pose a threat from the rangers if passed without notice. Up stream the water level is alitte deeper and there is not as much river to work as the UNF land is closer. There is a couple hundred yards of really good material down stream from the bridge and is perfect for dredging and highbanking. ![]() Also alot of prospectors are missing some of the best prospecting you can find on a weekend at and around the 109 bridge between eldorado and uwharrie. Although there is gold at and around the bridge your best bet is to move up or down stream from the bridge 100 yards and is best for dredging. As far as prospecting at the low water bridge area, both sides of the bridge have a right of way and as long as your in the river and not on the bank your fine and can challenge anyones disagreement. Most flood gold in the area is less than 6 inches deep and can be classified and run through a sluice box in a short time which is the quickest way to extract this type of fine gold. There is alot of easy diggings if youre looking for flood gold, it accumilates in alot of the inside bends and exposed bedrock. I also manufacture the uwharrie gold maps, stanly county gold and the sniper hand dredge in uwharrie. I have been prospecting the uwharries sense 1997 and have found quite abit of gold over the years. This mine is on private property and was a lode mine which also involved hydrolicking. I have lived in the area all of my life and used to play around the old sally coggins mine as a kid which is around 1/10th of a mile s/w from the eldorado outpost. ![]() They are many mines in the forest both lode and placer still producing gold today. Here is what others have shared on tnet about NC:Īnyone looking for more than flood gold in the uwharries should work the areas around the old mines.
