Where in the us would you go placer mining?

You can go placer mining wherever gold is found in placer deposits. For gold, I'd suggest looking in Alaska, or California, or Arizona, though many other states also have gold in at least small amounts if you're willing to put in the effort. Montana is the state if you want to placer mine for sapphire.
