How Many Different States Plus Canadian Provinces Have You Found Gold With A Metal Detector ?

With a detector only in Virginia which is unique for detecting gold.  Don’t hear much about east coast nugget shooting.  

We'd love to see some of the VA gold when you get a chance.  You have the state almost to yourself as I've only sold a few gold detectors to VA.  Thanks for giving us the East Coast treat and well earned as I know it's not easy.

Thanks Gerry!   And I must say that I’m following in the footsteps of a good friend now who has had by far the best success of nugget shooting in VA.   I’ve learned from him with nugget shooting and his collection puts mine to shame.  And I have gotten access to places that he discovered though I’ve so far found one patch of my own lol.  
 

I’ll hopefully have some exciting stuff to share in the near future as I may have gained access to an area that has an unmined high grade gold deposit under it.   So it may be amazing or may bear nothing  lol. Time will tell.

Gerry I remember a guy in our class that had bought a GPZ from you and was from VA.  Maybe PG-Prospecting might want to look him up to try out that Z!  If I remember right he had a YouTube channel digging gold in VA.

yes I know him.  I may see if he would let me borrow it lol.  As far as I know so far he has not found any gold with it in Va but COVID killed his year since he is a medical professional.

I know the question specifically mentioned detected gold.  A quick internet search turned this up about natural gold being in all 50 states.  (My apology if someone has already linked this in the thread.  BTW, I don't see the site owner/author there but I have a feeling more than one person here knows who it is.) 

I also recall seeing a picture (I think on the internet) of a person with his display case, a cubbyhole for each state, showing samples the gold he had recovered.  I think he had over 30 states at the time.  But again, most of his was from gravity recovery methods, not electronic prospecting.

Queensland (Australia) and Drunk ? (kidding on that last one)

Hopefully turn that into two (maybe 3) states this year, pandemic pending.
