Best Answer

Yes, Kentucky has gold. The state rocks are sedimentary in nature, so there really aren't any significant deposits, but some streams will contain very fine gold, brought by glaciation. Persistent panning or sluicing might turn up gold the size of a grain of salt, hard data on anything larger is tough to verify. National or state prospecting associations and state geologists could provide more specific info.
