Yes, with a couple of exceptions (noted in my books), you can take a bucket of material home to practice. I suggest classifying the material before you haul it home, so you aren’t carrying around a bunch of big rocks. Also, because that way, you are carrying “concentrates” home with you which is allowed almost everywhere!

The key exception is the State Parks which allow prospecting (not all do). They generally ONLY allow you to take home what will fit in your pocket. So bring a snuffer bottle, pan your gold down to the point where you can snuff it up and go home happy!

Yes, I have maps that show the locale/area for each chapter, in the front of the book. Larger, color versions of the maps are available here.

Not necessarily exact locations if that is an issue but it would be awesome if there were a map that could point out at least what county a location might be in…

That would make it easier to say, “I’m visiting X area and there is Y area or Z area not to far away…

We are newbies to a local club and haven’t gone on any trips yet so a map would be helpful…

Is that a thing…?

Yes, it is ok to take your concentrates home from the sites on this list.

It’s a smart question since some other places do limit what you can take home but not the ones on my website.

I am very new to this sport (I haven’t panned for gold yet), and I am curios if it is legal to take a bucket of placer dirt home from these areas ? Or are these simply a prospect and pan while you are there on the property type of operation? I am eager to learn and I would really like to practice at home when I have more time, to make sure I am doing it right and don’t throw any gold away.

Frustrating how often governments change their websites and delete helpful stuff. (Feb 25, 2017)
…and again for the same reason (Feb 4, 2018).
