- 1). Join a gold prospecting club. For example, the Central Virginia Gold Prospectors Club in Dillwyn is a nonprofit organization that owns seven land claims. Joining a club is essential because of the limited public areas for gold panning.
- 2). Target your search for gold in Pittsylvania County in southern Virginia (near the Kentucky border).
- 3). Look for gold nuggets at Tongue Quarter Creek in Buckingham County. A nine-pound gold nugget and several one-ounce nuggets were found at this location, according to the Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Use a metal detector to help you find unearthed nuggets.
