There a lot of gold on the east coast..but most of it is on private property, you also can't stake a mineral claim east of the Mississippi River as you can in the western states, the reason being is all public land out west is still own by the people of the USA...but try telling that to most politicians...they think the public land out west is owned by the US government...NOT...east of the Mississippi all "public" land was once private land that was purchased by the US government for National Parks and National Forests and that land is indeed own by the US government.
Going after gold is harder than most would think, it's some of the hardest work I have ever done and many times, more often than not you find no gold.
There's a saying in the gold prospecting world..."If you want to end up with a million dollars mining gold...start out with 2 million dollars and quit after losing the first million!!"

I'm usually press for time when I go up there since I live about 6 hours away and I would rather spend it finding gold...but if I ever have some spare time up there I will check out the trails!
