You need maps:

Step one is to get the information that someone else has already done.

goldmaps.com. I have never used their maps, so I can't testify to their quality.

Lots of maps here: http://nc-maps.stores.yahoo.net/mountainmaps.html

And good stuff here.

This is fun reading

Often times the "Old Man Whitaker" was someone who had a stash of gold his daddy buried back in '33, when it became illegal to own the stuff. They'd go dig up a handful of double eagles and either melt or pound them down to look like nuggets, then sell it. But anything is possible, some very large nuggets have been found in those hills.

I'd recomend going to one of those panning places they have in the mountains. It's not difficult and it's a lot of fun to see color in the pan.

Don't worry, I'll not send you an invoice.
