Fairfield County Gold Locations

Map coordinates are an approximate county/area centroid — not a precise claim site. Little River I have found fine gold in the banks of the Little River. Some pickers and nuggets if you can get down to bedrock. This river is filled with what we call sugar sand. If you stand in running water you will slowley sink this is what the gold does as well. I prospect near the end right before it dumps into Broad River, but the best place to look would be off of Hwy 34 about 15 miles east of Salems Crossroads where the East fork, the north fork and the west forks all come together. Remember if you want to get the good stuff you got 4 feet of sugar sand to get through, and thats if you are lucky. Hope this little bit of info will help my fellow prospectors and good luck to all.
