How do you know if you have gold where you live i am wanting to try panning in the creek it has fools gold does that mean there is gold in the creek or not?

Finding fool's gold (pyrite) in a creek does not guarantee the presence of real gold. It is possible that real gold could be present in the creek, but you would need to test the area further to confirm. Look for indicator minerals like black sand or other heavy minerals that often accompany gold deposits. Consider researching the geology of the area or consulting with a local geologist to increase your chances of finding gold. Happy panning!
