Title: Geode Crystal and Gold?
Post by: Lobob on July 13, 2016, 05:57:04 AM

I found this down in southern Indiana while on a geode hunt. 

Didn't notice this till I  was cleaning it up in the garage, but it almost looks like gold has covered the crystals!

Welcome aboard Lobob.

Thought you might find this interesting. Gold is indeed found in Indiana. http://www.iowagold.com/WHERE_TO_FIND_GOLD_USA_PAGES/indiana_gold.htm

Well my wife and I found this piece down around lake monroe, I guess next time I need to remember my gold pans.

Thanks for the link Jakesrocks, I will check that out.  I have always heard about there being gold in Indiana but haven't gotten around to finding a good place to go to pan for it.
