    I would like to know where on lake Superior you can prospect for beach gold..... I am a life member of the L.D.M.A and have been since 1995 and I live in southeastern Indiana and not much gold here.  Was wanting to take a trip up to Michigan and do some prospecting but don't know where to go.  I have never been up there and want to start but a long trip and need some information.  Sure hope someone there can give me some pointers, I would like to try the beaches of Lake Superior or Lake Michigan.  Any one here from Southern Indiana I would like to hear from you also.  Thanks buddies.

    I heard from Marquette, MI through Grand Marias. On the lake shores you can pan but can't use any power equipment.

    Jimmie,

    Muskallonge State Park, on Lake Superior. Like Jeremy stated, only battery powered, self contained gear can be used. Look for the black sand seams. Go slow as this black sand is very heavy and will load up your recovery media super quick. Most of the gold is 100 mesh. Also, be on the lookout for agates there.
