I am based in Tokyo at the moment and would like to find some gold.
I don`t think there is much of a metal detecting community in Japan. I could only find a couple of posts about people searching the beaches.
I prefer to find gold when i have the option.
My new detector will be arriving soon.
I don`t know here to start looking.
The only ideas I have are look in places where alluvial gold was found in the past.
I have found some places online where gold was found in rivers and mined 400-500 years ago, but I have the feeling if i turned up there, I might be okay panning, but perhaps not detecting.
Most of non-urban japan is forested and extremely hilly.
I don`t expect there are many people who can tell me exactly where to look, but if you could that would be great.
If you could tell me how to figure out where to look, that would be great too.
I am a beginner and will be using a GPX5000
