A new report is revealing the best states where Americans can most likely find gold in the ground. 

SD Bullion, a U.S.-based bullion dealer, analyzed data from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Mineral Resources Program.

The dealing company looked at locations nationwide where gold ore has been found or produced as a commodity.

Chase Turner, CEO of SD Bullion, said in a press release that the findings show where the likelihood of finding gold is notably higher.

"These regions, known for their favorable geological conditions and historical mining success, stand out as prime locations for gold exploration. The data offers valuable insights into the distribution of gold deposits, highlighting key areas for amateur prospectors and professionals," said Turner. 

Just 32 states were found to have gold ore present or were currently producing gold.

Below, see the top five best states to strike gold, according to SD Bullion.

The smallest place in terms of land area found in the states most likely to have gold, SD Bullion found 2,271 locations where gold has been found or is being produced. Washington recorded 34.17 gold locations per 1,000 square miles.

There are 31.41 gold locations per 1,000 square miles with 3,015 locations where gold has been found or is currently being produced, recorded across its 95,988 square miles, according to SD Bullion.

Known for its mining industry, Nevada has 30.91 gold locations per 1,000 square miles with 3,393 locations where gold has been found or is currently being produced.

The Fort Churchill State Historic Park in Lyon County, Nevada, hosts "Gold Fever" programs, allowing travelers to pan for their own gold and learn about the mining history of the area, according to carsonnow.org, a local newspaper based in Carson City, Nevada.

Idaho rounds up the top five, recording 28.44 gold locations per 1,000 square miles. With 2,350 locations where gold has been found or is currently being produced within an area of 82,643 square miles, according to SD Bullion. 

"The state's mountainous terrain has historically been rich in minerals, attracting prospectors for centuries," said the report.

Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Alaska and Utah rounded out the list of 10 states where visitors can find gold.

"Data was first collected from the US Geological Survey’s Mineral Resources Data System. The data was then filtered to exclude non-US locations and US territories such as the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico," said the survey's methodology.

"The data was further filtered only to include locations where gold ore was reported or where gold is produced as a commodity. Then, the number of gold occurrences, prospect, and producer locations was totaled for each state, giving the total number of gold-containing locations."

"Finally, this number of locations was compared to the state's land area to get the total number of gold locations per 1000 square miles, upon which the final ranking is based."

Goldie Hawn says 'good sex' is key component in relationship with Kurt Russell

Together for more than forty years, Goldie Hawn is getting candid about why her relationship with Kurt Russell is so successful.

On Friday, while celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Goldie Hawn Foundation and MindUP, the actress revealed a key element to their love story.

"You have to have good sex," the 78-year-old said bluntly in an interview with E! News.

"Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it's not just because of the act, it's because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates," she explained. 

"You have to be nice to each other upon occasion," she teased.

Although Hawn said having that intimacy is important, it's also the time spent recognizing your differences that really makes a relationship stick.

"You know you're not the same person," the "Overboard" actress said. "You don't think the same way oftentimes. And you have to accept that, but you have to measure are we having fun, or is this something we want to do? Do we have laughs together? Do we share certain things? You don't have to share everything."

"We have a lot of expectation, I think, around relationships, but you have to like the person. That's very important."

Russell, 73, had his own take on why he and Hawn had seen such longevity in their relationship.

"Most people that have been together for a long time, I think, share one thing in common," he told the outlet. "And that is that after that many years together, you will have experienced just about everything there is to experience together and understand all the ups and downs and what it means."

"I just love the fact that we met and [we're] still doing it. We still like being together." 

The couple originally met on the set of their film, "The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band," but didn't get together until years later. Work brought the duo back together in 1983, for their film "Swing Shift." 

Hawn and Russell, who each have their own children from previous marriages (Kate and Oliver as well as Boston, respectively), share one son together, Wyatt. 

During a March appearance on Dax Shepard's podcast, "Armchair Expert," Hawn spoke extensively about her relationship with Russell and the obstacles they overcame as a couple. 

"We don't agree on certain things. He was tougher than me as a parent. … But we have a very, very strong family because of it," she said. 

"That was one of the things that gave us things to talk about," she said of why their relationship stuck. 

The couple is also famously not married.

"I think that if we were married, there probably could have been times, when you go, ‘Oh c’mon. I'm done,'" she told Shepard. Still, Hawn said, "I'm really happy I stayed."
