Windsor County Vermontby Tom AshworthMe and my friend Jim Labuz and his brother Bob of Utica, New York used to go over to Broad Brook in Windsor County and prospect for gold. Jim and I have some great stories about this place. I found a little nugget using a Gold Spear that weighed in at 1.2 dwt. Jimmy and Bob have found some real nice nuggets here. Jim and I used a 3" dredge here, but some moron from the DEQ ruined our fun. I understand the government has gotten bad over there (those damn communist "democrats") and you can't even pan there now, but I will list the sites anyway. AndoverThere are reports of placer gold at the Andover Branch of the Williams River and Middle Branch of Trout brook near Andover. BarnardThere are reports of placer gold at locust Creek near Barnard. BridgewaterThere are many area mine in the Bridgewater area. The state forest land contains some good gold bearing locations. Some of the old lead mines had a by product of gold. There are reports of placer gold at Broad, Dimick and Gold Brooks and the North Branch of the Ottauquechee River near Bridgewater.
