Gold Prospecting In The Rivers Of Connecticut (Shocked That I Found Gold So Easy!)

Gold Prospecting In The Rivers Of Connecticut (Shocked That I Found Gold So Easy!)

This is the first of a series of videos filmed in Connecticut while on vacation with my family attempting for the first time to find Connecticut gold.
Connecticut is not known for gold prospecting due to, from my knowledge, there not being any known gold deposits/ore that naturally occurs in Connecticut.
From my understanding, there is small amounts of gold all over this state. This gold traveled down during the last ice age with the glaciers and then was deposited all over in tiny amounts due to glacial till. When the glaciers receded back up north at the end of the last ice age, these tiny particles were left behind.
In these videos I try the typical rules for gold prospecting, inside bend of the river, behind large boulders, Crevicing, searching on bedrock, and have found that it is very different prospecting compared to what I am used to in Eastern Tennessee.
I was born and raised in Connecticut, and have never attempted to search for gold here.
I hope you enjoy my journey, and hope that you give me a chance and subscribe to my channel.

I hope you enjoy and I hope you subscribe for more!
