Where can I Legally prospect for gold? Parks, rivers, etc.?

I live close to several areas that produced gold back in the 1800′s. I want to use my new sluice box out. Does anyone know if National parks, or anywhere else, allow gold prospecting legally? I saw online someone promoting claim sites that you can pay to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. If it’s on privately owned land, you need the permission of the owner.

    If it’s on public land, you need a permit from the government.
